In answer to the question: "Are there medications that can help me reach my recovery goals?" allow me to direct your attention first to a patient handout I wrote years ago for Smithers and have revised several times.

• "Medications that can help us stay sober in early recovery."

  Clinicians, please feel free to use these documents any way you wish in your practice. I only ask that if you alter the content of the documents please remove my name as author and reference the original document (a simple reference such as the following would satisfy me: "Alexander DeLuca, M.D. - http://www.doctordeluca.com/SobrietyMedStart.htm").
  
   

• Are there medications that might help problem drinkers achieve moderation goals?

  A document focusing on the use of naltrexone as an aid to people trying to learn how to drink moderately.
