Acamprosate
Acamprosate is a medication used to help people recovering from alcohol dependence. It works by stabilizing the chemical balance in the brain that is disrupted by alcohol use. While it doesn't eliminate cravings for alcohol, it can reduce them and help individuals maintain their sobriety. Acamprosate is typically taken after a person has stopped drinking and is most effective when combined with counseling and support. It’s important to note that it doesn’t cure alcohol dependence but can aid in the recovery process. Always consult a healthcare provider for personalized advice.
