Naltrexone - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Bonaparte, IA.

Naltrexone is a prescription 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 management of alcohol dependence as it apparently lessens the addict's need to consume alcohol. Naltrexone comes in tablet form, or in injection form that can be administered once per 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 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 taking Naltrexone, but they will have to stop taking all other opioid drugs while taking the drug. This would include taking Methadone or similar maintenance therapy meds, due to the fact that taking Naltrexone along with these kinds of medications can cause sudden withdrawal symptoms.

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