Treating Alcohol & Drug Addiction with Anti-Craving Medications & Relapse-Prevention Therapies-St. Louis, MO
Medications for Alcohol Dependence

If other programs haven’t worked for you, consider Assisted Recovery's cutting-edge treatment that combines medications with individual, family, and group therapy.

The first step is safe, comfortable detoxification with the help of medications that relieve withdrawal symptoms. After this first week, you’ll be ready to begin taking the latest anti-craving medications like Vivitrol®, ReVia® (naltrexone) and/or Campral® (acamprosate) on an outpatient basis.

These medications are not cure-alls, yet most patients report dramatic reductions in craving within hours of taking their first dose. Naltrexone and acamprosate are neither mood-altering nor addictive, and you will probably find them helpful for at least six months.

Many patients keep a supply of medication on hand indefinitely in case they experience sudden cravings or a tempting situation. Relapse-prevention therapy generally continues for at least a year.
