The Combined Recovery Protocol developed by Accelerated Recovery Centers places strong emphasis on urge and craving suppression. While these alcoholism drugs are not a cure, they play a vital role in relapse prevention. Often referred to as the "anti alcohol drugs", these medical tools are a critical component of modern alcoholism treatment and are invaluable to those patients who want to stop drinking and remain abstinent. Accelerated combines these medications with outstanding therapeutic and wellness care to optimize outcomes for each and every patient.
ReVia (Naltrexone), Vivitrol and Campral (Acamprosate)
Naltrexone (ReVia): Naltrexone, also sold under the brand name ReVia is an opioid antagonist that interferes with the part of the brain involved in producing the pleasure your patient gets from drinking alcohol. Most studies, including the most recent COMBINE study conducted by the NIAAA show that naltrexone significantly reduces a patient’s chance for relapse after they have stopped drinking. In order to be most effective, Naltrexone (ReVia) should be part of a comprehensive management program that includes psychosocial therapeutic support.

Vivitrol is indicated for the treatment of alcohol dependence in patients who are able to abstain from alcohol in an outpatient setting prior to treatment initiation.
