The Science
A new way to take back control
Drinking alcohol triggers a massive dopamine rush, which physically changes your brain.8 Every time you’re stressed, bored, or feeling down, your body craves that dopamine.
Anti-craving medications like GLP-1s have been shown to help reset the brain’s craving triggers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is compounded GLP-1 medication safe?
Compounded GLP-1 medications are prepared by licensed compounding pharmacies and prescribed by licensed medical providers. They contain the same active ingredients as FDA-approved GLP-1 medications.10 They are also a non-addictive, non-narcotic form of medical therapy.11 As with any medication, side effects are possible, so your provider will review your full medical history before prescribing.
Do GLP-1 medications actually work for alcohol cravings?
Recent clinical trials have shown that GLP-1 medications may help reduce alcohol cravings, reduce number drinks per day, and reduce frequency of heavy drinking days.1 Individual responses vary.
How does Livelyhood fit into my current recovery program?
Livelyhood supports whatever recovery path you’re on, including 12-step programs, therapy, and other approaches.
How long does the program last?
We recommend 6 months minimum for the best results, because growing research suggests sustained recovery typically requires extended treatment.13 But we offer plans as short as 30 days for those who want to try the program first.
Is it private?
Yes. Your appointment is 100% confidential via our virtual program. Medication ships in discreet packaging.
What are the side effects of GLP-1s?
The most commonly reported side effects are nausea, vomiting, and gastrointestinal discomfort, especially as your body adjusts.14 Your provider monitors carefully and is available for adjustments throughout treatment.
Who isn’t Livelyhood for?
Livelyhood is a telehealth program and can’t replace in-person care for everyone. You likely aren’t a fit if you need high-acuity, in-person medical supervision, if you’re in active crisis or experiencing acute suicidality, if you have a history of eating disorders, or if your BMI is below the prescribing threshold. If you’re in immediate danger, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, or call 911.
