Naltrexone - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - New Haven, CT.

Naltrexone is a prescription med 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 dependence because it appears to decrease the user's desire to drink. Naltrexone can either be administered daily by tablet, or there is an extended-release injection that can be given once per month, although the injection can cost up to $1,100 per 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 negates the effects of opioid medications. Someone who has been abstaining from all opioid drugs for 7-10 days can begin treatment with Naltrexone, but they will have to remain off all other opioid medications while taking the drug. This would include taking Methadone or similar maintenance therapy drugs, because of the fact that taking Naltrexone along with these kinds of drugs can cause sudden withdrawal symptoms.

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