Abby,
I take Naltrexone with a compromised liver. I almost died a few years ago from acute alcoholic hepatitis. I also take something called "Liver Support Factors" available from vitamins.com. It is a mixture which has Milkthistle as its primary ingredient. As far as I know I am not having extra problems due to the Naltrexone but I also haven't had my liver enzymes checked in over a year.
In Dr Bob's Tips section there are a few threads about using Naltrexone for AD augmentation. You may find some more info at www.rxlist.com or medscape.com.
Overall it has taken away the alcohol cravings and does act to augment my AD's. It's worth a shot if you can talk your father into it.
Chris
