There are two alternatives: function prefixing (meaning everything starts with my_unique_prefix_) or real PHP namespaces. The former works but is bulky, inflexible, and leads to incredibly ugly and hard-to-maintain/reuse-across-projects code. The latter only works if you're dropping WordPress' default PHP 5.2 backwards compatibility.
