Medication for recovery from alcohol

Changing your relationship with alcohol can be difficult. Medication makes it easier by relieving alcohol cravings and blocking the euphoric effects of alcohol. Whatever your goal—quitting alcohol or drinking less—incorporating medications like naltrexone or acamprosate into your treatment program can help you stay on track.

Medication alone may be enough to help you achieve your goals, but the vast majority of people succeed through a combination of medication and online support — the kind you can expect from Workit 90​

About online support
In my experience, yes, medication DOES help with alcohol cravings—I had fewer cravings, and the cravings I did have were less intense.
