Naloxone is used to curb drug cravings as it blocks opiod receptors so you can't get high when you take it and thus weaken the reward pathway circuit in your brain's reward system. This has been studied in prison systems to lead to less repeat offenders for drug related offences (dui) when given naloxone in prison. I wish I could find the study.
