Clinical scenario
Jorge, an unemployed 35-year-old factory worker with alcohol dependence, saw me recently at the local health district GP unit.
As we talked about his drinking, I recalled a conference presentation on the use of baclofen as a treatment for alcohol use disorders. What is the evidence for this therapy?
