1,2 -- Naltrexone helps diminish cravings for alcohol and opiates. It is not an antidepressant. Antabuse is given to patients to stop the breakdown of alcohol within the body and make the consequences of drinking alcohol more severe. Methadone will help block heroin cravings. Librium can be used to help with anxiety and prevent seizure activity. Phenobarbital can help prevent seizure activity. Vitamin supplements can help the patient with alcoholism because they are more likely to have developed vitamin deficiencies.
