WellStep offers the most up-to-date and effective medical and behavioral
treatments for alcohol cravings, relapse prevention and binge drinking.
Medications used to decrease cravings may include naltrexone pills (Revia), Naltrexone monthly injections (Vivitrol), and acamprosate (Campral). Naltrexone operates by blocking opioid receptors and influencing dopamine. Acamprosate works primarily by blocking NMDA receptors.
We also prescribe antidepressants and other psychotropic medications as necessary.
WellStep offers individual counseling and optional group therapy sessions which provide the tools for long-lasting relapse prevention.
Please note: We do not provide alcohol detox services. Patients at risk for significant alcohol withdrawal symptoms should be evaluated at an appropriate inpatient facility.
