There are various medications that can be used to stop people drinking. However, these are by no means always used, and most people prefer to try other therapies such as psychological approaches. None of the drug treatments offers anything like a miracle cure that might enable you simply to stop drinking. And there is nothing like the nicotine replacement therapies used to wean smokers off cigarettes, which could act as an alcohol substitute. But there are some medications that can help you to deal with the symptoms of withdrawal and the craving for alcohol. Some of the best results are achieved by intensive and carefully structured rehabilitation programmes, in which these drug treatments play a specific but limited part.



First of all there are tranquilisers. Some tranquillisers, such as chlordiazepoxide may be useful to help cope with the effects of withdrawal when you first stop drinking alcohol. In the first week - often referred to as detoxification people experience intense anxiety, shakes, tremors, cravings and even hallucinations. People also have problems sleeping. Usually, chlordiazepoxide is used only for this short period. Beta blockers such as propranolol may also be used to control these symptoms.

Next, there is a drug for alcohol craving called the camprosate and this has been developed specifically to help people deal with the intense craving for alcohol that may be experienced after giving up. It may double your chances of giving up successfully. Drugs to put you off alcohol such as disulfiram are the third and final option. If you drink alcohol while taking this medication, you'll feel extremely unwell with intense nausea and flushing. This can help to put you off the idea of a drink, but you have to be diligent about taking it in the first place.
