How alcohol use disorder is treated, why withdrawal needs medical attention, which medications and therapies have evidence behind them, and how to compare programs.
Not always. Heavy, daily drinking can cause dangerous withdrawal, including seizures. Talk to a doctor or a medically supervised detox program before stopping.
Naltrexone, acamprosate and disulfiram are approved in the U.S. A prescriber decides which fits. Not every program prescribes them, so ask directly.
Not necessarily. The right level depends on severity, health, home environment and support. Outpatient and intensive outpatient programs work for many people.
