It is a combination of counseling and medications. None of these medications are Over the counter unlike smoking cessation.
Hence, your best bet is to contact your primary care provider for those or obtain a referral to an addiction specialist

It greatly depends on what, how much and how often you drink. If detox is indicated—a medical detox is recommended. After detox Vivitrol is a once a month injection that coupled with weekly (more if you need) works very well.
