Naltrexone - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Wilmington, OH.

Naltrexone is a medication used in the treatment of opiate and prescription opioid abuse and addiction because it stops the activity of opiates. It is also used in the treatment of alcohol dependence as it apparently lessens the user's need to consume alcohol. Naltrexone can either be administered daily by tablet, or in injection form that can be administered once an every four weeks, however the injection can cost up to $1,100 per month.

The difference between Naltrexone and other medications 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 negates the effects of opioid medications. Someone who has been abstaining from all opioid meds for seven to ten days can begin taking 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 drugs, due to the fact that being treated with Naltrexone along with these types of drugs can cause sudden withdrawal reactions.

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