Are there any prescription medications available for alcoholics?

Gail Priddy (Deputy Director) gives expert video advice on: Is there a cure for alcohol addiction?; Should I approach my GP?; How can my GP help me? and more...

Yes, there are. First of all, there are medications that help people who need to detoxify from alcohol, which are prescribed and administered through GP. Equally, there are NASA medications that help to reduce cravings. Again, they are prescribed by GP and they should always be accompanied with having individual counseling to look at the other issues around the drinking.
