Naltrexone - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Port Huron, MI.

Naltrexone is a prescription medicine used in the treatment of opiate and prescription opioid addiction because it stops the activity of opiates. It is also used in the treatment of alcohol addiction as it appears to decrease the addict's desire to consume alcohol. Naltrexone can either be administered daily by tablet, or in injection form that can be administered once per month, however the injection can cost around $1,100 a month.

The difference between Naltrexone and other drugs used to treat opiate addiction is that not like Methadone which is an agonist and is not unlike heroin, Naltrexone is an opiate antagonist, and blocks the effect of opioid drugs. Someone who has been abstaining from all opioid drugs for 7-10 days can begin taking Naltrexone, but they will have to stop taking all other opioid medications while taking the medication. This would include taking Methadone or similar maintenance therapy meds, because of the fact that taking Naltrexone along with these types of medications can cause sudden withdrawal symptoms.

Naltrexone is meant to be used in conjunction with a full Port Huron rehab program which would include compliance monitoring, counseling, lifestyle changes, and behavior modification.
