Treatment includes detox, counseling, support groups, and medications like naltrexone to reduce cravings. If you have any further questions or need more clarity, please consult with a psychiatrist. If youre in Texas, we welcome you to reach out to www.MidCitiesPsychiatry, were here to help you.
It terms of medicine. There are meds like naltrexone for treatment. Just make sure your liver labs are normal first otherwise you have to choose another med. Also ofter you will need to treat depression and or anxiety and or sleep with it.

Hope that helps.
