Even individuals who are determined to stay sober may suffer one or several "slips," or relapses, before achieving long-term sobriety. Relapses are very common and do not mean that a person has failed or cannot recover from alcoholism. Keep in mind, too, that every day that a recovering alcoholic has stayed sober prior to a relapse is extremely valuable time, both to the individual and to his or her family. If a relapse occurs, it is very important to try to stop drinking once again and to get whatever additional support you need to abstain from drinking.
Naltrexone and Acamprosate are both medications that were specifically developed to help alcohol dependent patients reduce their craving for alcohol. Both of these drugs have been approved by the Federal Drug Administration for the treatment of alcoholism.
More men than women in the United States are reported to abuse alcohol or to be alcohol dependent.
In 1984, when federal law changed the drinking age to 21, more than half of fatal crashes among drivers aged 15 to 20 were alcohol related. By 1994, after the new law had been in effect, that number had dropped to 22 percent.
