Dual Dx Therapy: Try to find a treatment program for dual dx - substance issues and anxiety/depression. These theraoists are experienced in the special issues that arise in these cases and can really help. You'll find more benefit is support and comraderie than from more chemicals. Antabuse (disulfiram) stops some but it means TOTAL avoidance of alcohol. Find a good program! Best wishes!

You may need detox: Librium, depakote, topamax, (topiramate) beta blockers will help. Campral may help reduce cravings. If you can get off methadone, vivitro will help both
