Post 9

 

WG has made it through withdrawal without complications thanks to an appropriate management regimen. She would like to consider pharmacological treatment to maintain abstinence.

Repeat Labs: Her LFTs have normalized now that she has been alcohol-free for the past week.

Past Treatment: She reports taking disulfiram during previous rehabilitation attempts but was unsuccessful, most likely because of adherence issues.

Her medical chart indicates she has great insurance so prescription copayments shouldn't be a problem.

· What abstinence medication would be most appropriate for WG? (Do not give vague or generalized treatment plans; choose a treatment and explain why you chose it instead of any other options)
