Naltrexone - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Portland, OR.

Naltrexone is a prescription medicine 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 addiction as it appears to decrease the user's need to drink. Naltrexone comes in tablet form, or in injection form that can be given once a month, although the injection can cost around $1,100 a month.

The difference between Naltrexone and other medications 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 blocks the effects of opioid drugs. An individual who has been abstaining from all opioid medications for seven to ten days can begin treatment with Naltrexone, but they will have to remain off all other opioid drugs while taking the medication. This would include taking Methadone or similar maintenance therapy drugs, due to the fact that being treated with Naltrexone along with these types of meds can cause sudden withdrawal reactions.

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