Abstract
One option for helping chronic alcoholics remain sober is disulfiram therapy. Patients who take disulfiram develop a sensitivity to alcohol, resulting in unpleasant reactions to even small amounts of alcohol. When it is used as part of a comprehensive program for alcoholics who wish to remain sober, disulfiram can be an effective treatment aid.
