The problem of treatment for alcohol addiction stays extremely topical due to its prevalence and extent of economic, environmental, demographic and moral losses, which is a serious threat to health, safety, stability and development of the society. This problem is worsened by the fact that despite the variety of approaches and techniques the ultimate effectiveness of the treatment of patients with alcohol dependence (AD), determined by the duration of remission, stays completely inadequate, primarily due to relapse-dangerous clinical situations underlying failures and AD relapse. The literature review deals with pharmacological prevention of AD relapse.
