I absolutely agree that Disulfiram is an awful drug to treat alcohol abuse with, it feels like conversion therapy for taking a drink. Also, there is no fixing of the underlying issue at all with this drug (I'm pointly saying that conversion therapy is used to fix a problem that doesn exist).

I've seen a family member successfully win over an alcohol abuse issue by changing their job and getting therapy after detoxing safely in a hospital. Disulfiram should be bottom of the list for anyone, I've not heard of Naltrexone, but a quick google makes it sound like a superb option too.
