Naltrexone - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Sedalia, MO.

Naltrexone is a medication 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 addiction as it appears to decrease the addict's desire to consume alcohol. Naltrexone comes in tablet form, or there is an extended-release injection that can be administered once a month, although the injection can cost up to $1,100 per month.

The difference between Naltrexone and other drugs used to treat opiate dependence is that unlike Methadone which is an agonist and has many of the same properties as heroin, Naltrexone is an opiate antagonist, and negates the effect of opioid medications. An individual who has been abstaining from all opioid meds for 7-10 days can begin treatment with Naltrexone, but they will have to remain off all other opioid drugs while taking the drug. This would include taking Methadone or similar maintenance therapy meds, due to the fact that being treated with Naltrexone along with these types of drugs can cause sudden withdrawal symptoms.

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