Injected medication
A health care provider can inject Vivitrol, a variant of the medication naltrexone. Although similar drugs can be taken in the form of pills, it may be easier for people recovering from alcohol use disorder to consistently use the injectable version of the drug.
Continuing support
Aftercare services and support groups can help alcoholics heal from alcohol use disorder. They may help them stop drinking, handle relapses, and deal with the lifestyle changes that are needed.
