title: Pharmacotherapy of alcohol dependence.
abstract: The current pharmacotherapeutic approaches to alcohol dependence, together with the results of a number of clinical trials, are reviewed in this article. Despite the somewhat disappointing clinical results, pharmacotherapeutic interventions did lead to some small, but significant, improvements in alcohol abstinence rates.
