Unless the doctor is dispensing and selling the medication from his or her office, it makes absolutely no difference, financially, to the doctor, what you take.... And almost no physicians in the US do that anymore anyway.
More likely, the physician understands the risks and side effects of Antabuse and doesn't feel the benefits warrant prescribing it. When it is prescribed it is done under a carefully controlled protocol designed to monitor and minimize the possibility of a reaction... The use of Antabuse is only a minor part of the overall program. Counseling, Intensive Outpatient Treatment, Education... The whole works... Personally, I would question any doctor who just writes you a script for the stuff and sends you on your way to do whatever....
Perhaps try a specialist in alcoholism and addiction, maybe you will have better luck there.
