- You are 21 to 65 years old.
- You have alcohol use disorder based on a structured diagnostic interview (SCID-5).
- You are not currently getting treatment for alcohol use disorder and you do not want treatment for it right now.

This study uses a special brain scan (PET) to look at a protein called PDE4B in people with alcohol use disorder. The goal is to better understand how alcohol affects the brain, which may lead to new treatments.
This study tests whether a medication called disulfiram (Antabuse) can help people with alcohol use disorder (AUD) feel less anxious when they stop drinking. Researchers will also use brain scans (MRI) to look at how the brain changes during early abstinence.
This study is looking at ways to increase “alcohol abstinence,” meaning drinking less or stopping. It focuses on young adults who currently drink and have symptoms of alcohol use disorder, and it may help them build skills to reduce or stop drinking.
This study tests whether a pill called apremilast can help reduce drinking in people with alcohol use disorder. You'll take the medication and attend regular visits to see how it affects your alcohol cravings and use.
This early-phase study looks at how the brain’s opioid receptor balance may be different in people with alcohol use disorder (AUD), using brain scans and blood testing. It may help researchers understand why some people respond differently to alcohol and related treatments.
This trial tests how the medication acamprosate affects brain activity in people with moderate to severe alcohol use disorder. It may help researchers understand how this treatment works.
