Naltrexone - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Albuquerque, NM.

Naltrexone is a prescription medicine used in the treatment of opiate and prescription opioid addiction because it stops the activity of opioids. It is also used in the treatment of alcohol addiction because it appears to decrease the addict's desire to consume alcohol. Naltrexone can either be administered daily by tablet, or there is an extended-release injection that can be administered once per every four weeks, however the injection can cost up to $1,100 a month.

The difference between Naltrexone and other meds used to treat opiate addiction is that unlike Methadone which is an agonist and is very similar to heroin, Naltrexone is an opiate antagonist, and blocks the effects of opioid meds. Someone who has been off all opioid medications for seven to ten days can begin taking Naltrexone, but they will have to remain off all other opioid medications while taking the medication. This would include taking Methadone or similar maintenance therapy drugs, due to the fact that taking Naltrexone along with these types of meds can cause sudden withdrawal reactions.

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