Yes. There are several medications that are approved by the FDA for alcohol dependence. These medications can help reduce cravings and relapses. They include disulfiram (Antabuse), naltrexone (Revia, Vivitrol), and acamprosate (Campral). However, they all must be used in combination with psychosocial treatments to be effective.
