How Anti-Craving Medications Work

These medications work by altering the brain’s response to substances, helping to minimize the desire to use and block the pleasurable effects associated with alcohol or opioids.

Some support long-term abstinence by regulating neurotransmitters affected by addiction.

Medications for Alcohol Use Disorder

  • Naltrexone (Revia / Vivitrol)
  • Blocks euphoric effects and reduces cravings for alcohol and opioids.

  • Campral (Acamprosate)
  • Restores chemical balance in the brain to reduce post-acute withdrawal symptoms.

  • Antabuse (Disulfiram)
  • Creates an unpleasant reaction when alcohol is consumed, deterring relapse.

  • Topamax (Topiramate)
  • Off-label medication that helps reduce cravings and stabilize mood.

    Medications for Opioid Use Disorder

  • Sublocade (Buprenorphine Injection)
  • A once-monthly injection providing steady support against cravings (available for residential patients only).

  • Naltrexone / Vivitrol
  • Blocks opioid receptors and prevents the rewarding effects of opioids.

  • Buprenorphine
  • Reduces withdrawal symptoms and stabilizes brain chemistry during early recovery.

    Each medication is prescribed based on the individual’s clinical assessment and integrated into a comprehensive treatment plan.
