There are two less extreme medications for alcohol abuse prevention. Naltrexone -also used for opiate cravings, and Campril. Naltrexone also blocks effects of alcohol without making you violently ill, but speaking from experience, enough alcohol can overcome the effect.

I can't speak to Campril much because it gave me horrible side effects and I had to stop taking it pretty much immediately.
