A
Naltrexone (ReVia) reduces the craving for alcohol and block alcohol's reinforcing pleasurable effects.
Diazepam reduces alcohol withdrawal symptoms.
Disulfiram is taken by alcoholics to help them refrain from drinking, because unpleasant effects result if alcohol is ingested.
Acamprosate is indicated for maintaining abstinence in patients with alcohol dependence after detoxification.
