Using Disulfiram to Maintain Controlled Drinking: A Case Report with a 14-Year Follow-Up

Pages 231-235 | Published online: 11 Jul 2009
 

Abstract

Alcohol-sensitising drugs are normally prescribed to achieve abstinence, but in smaller and individually adjusted dosage, they can be used as an aid to controlled drinking. A case is described in which, following a period of abstinence, the regular use of supervised disulfiram early in the week enabled the patient to drink in a consistently controlled fashion at weekends, despite the failure of previous abstinence-based treatments.
