Can medication help to keep a behavioral addict sober?

It's my opinion that medication can be extremely helpful in recovery and of course this depends on the addiction that you have and whether we have the medicines that will address your particular addictions. But, medications aren't going to cure the addiction, but they are going to diminish, perhaps, the craving or urning for the involvement in the destructive behavior. There is going to be a punishment such as that, if you do involve yourself in that destructive behavior, you are going to have a bad experience, such as through the use of antibuse or something like that. So, therefore, I do support the appropriate use or the scientific use of current medications to help one obtain and sustain new behaviors
