Recent studies suggest that GLP-1 receptor agonists, such as Ozempic and Wegovy, may play a significant role in reducing opioid and alcohol addiction. Findings indicate that these weight loss medications could potentially cut the incidence of substance misuse and overdose risks by up to 50%. The research highlights that Ozempic could help curb binge drinking and opioid abuse, while also showing promise in treating substance use disorders. This emerging evidence raises the possibility of using weight loss drugs not only for obesity management but also as a therapeutic option for individuals grappling with addiction.
