Naltrexone - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Arvada, CO.

Naltrexone is a prescription med used in the treatment of opiate and prescription opioid abuse and addiction because it stops the activity of opioids. It is also used in the management of alcohol dependence as it appears to decrease the user's desire to drink. Naltrexone can either be administered daily by tablet, or in injection form that can be given once an every four weeks, although the injection can cost around $1,100 a month.

The difference between Naltrexone and other drugs used to treat opiate addiction is that unlike Methadone which is an agonist and is not unlike heroin, Naltrexone is an opiate antagonist, and negates the effects of opioid drugs. Someone who has been abstaining from all opioid medications for seven to ten days can begin taking Naltrexone, but they will have to remain off all other opioid meds while taking the drug. This would include taking Methadone or similar maintenance therapy drugs, due to the fact that being treated with Naltrexone along with these kinds of drugs can cause sudden withdrawal symptoms.

Naltrexone is meant to be used along with a full Arvada treatment program which would include counseling, behavioral modification, lifestyle changes, and compliance monitoring.
