Antabuse Disulfiram Dosage and Effects during use as an Anti Addiction Medication

Antabuse Disulfiram has a valid place as an integral part of Enterhealth’s alcohol addiction recovery treatment program. However, because of its toxic reactions, it does have some safety issues, although they are much less than the safety issues related to continued alcohol use. Therefore, this alcohol anti addiction medication is not usually used as a first line treatment during medical detox or alcohol detox. Rather, it is a medication utilized only if all other standard treatments fail, or it can be added to other alcohol anti addiction medication strategies, such as adding it to Vivitrol Campral or Campral by itself. 

When Antabuse is given to guests at Enterhealth’s residential alcohol addiction treatment center, they are closely monitored. As a guest, you can expect to be watched while you are taking anti addiction medication each morning, and your mouth will be orally inspected after swallowing in order to ensure compliance. If the compliance is ensured via a visual observation program, Antabuse can be very effective in the treatment of alcohol addiction.

Enterhealth creates individualized alcohol addiction treatment and drug addiction rehabilitation plans because we know your unique situation calls for an effective one-of-a-kind solution.
