Naltrexone - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Lebanon, NH.

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 treatment of alcohol dependence because it appears to decrease the user's need to consume alcohol. Naltrexone comes in tablet form, or in injection form that can be given once a month, however the injection can cost up to $1,100 per month.

The difference between Naltrexone and other meds used to treat opiate addiction is that not like 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 meds. An individual who has been off all opioid meds for seven to ten days can begin taking Naltrexone, but they will have to stop taking all other opioid meds 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 meds can cause sudden withdrawal symptoms.

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