| antabuse contracts for married alcoholics and their spouses: a method to maintain antabuse ingestion and decrease conflict about drinking. | antabuse is widely used in alcoholism treatment as a deterrent to impulsive drinking when the alcoholic encounters some temporary life crisis or other stressful situation. unfortunately, antabuse therapy often is not effective because the alcoholic discontinues the drug prematurely. marital conflicts and arguments, frequently about past drinking or the likelihood of future drinking, are an important stressor that can lead the newly abstinent alcoholic to relapse. the antabuse contract procedure ... | 2013 | 3735473 |
