Disulfiram should never be taken while intoxicated or without a patient's full knowledge. Alcohol must be avoided before starting, during treatment, and for up to 14 days after the last dose because reactions can continue after medication is stopped.
Disulfiram is not a cure for alcohol use disorder and does not directly treat withdrawal. It is usually strongest when paired with counseling, recovery planning, accountability, follow-up, and treatment for anxiety, depression, insomnia, trauma, or other co-occurring conditions when those are present.
A provider reviews whether Disulfiram, Antabuse, VIVITROL, naltrexone, acamprosate, counseling, or a higher level of care fits.
Recent drinking, withdrawal symptoms, liver and heart history, psychiatric history, pregnancy questions, and medication interactions are reviewed.
Follow-up can address side effects, medication adherence, counseling, relapse risk, insurance, and whether telehealth is appropriate.
If withdrawal feels unsafe, there is chest pain, seizure risk, confusion, suicidal thoughts, severe intoxication, or a severe reaction after alcohol exposure, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. Office and telehealth visits are not a substitute for emergency care.
