Naltrexone - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Mandeville, LA.

Naltrexone is a prescription medication used in the treatment of opiate and prescription opioid addiction because it stops the activity of opiates. It is also used in the treatment of alcohol dependence because it appears to decrease the user's desire to consume alcohol. Naltrexone comes in tablet form, or in injection form that can be administered once a month, however the injection can cost around $1,100 a month.

The difference between Naltrexone and other meds used to treat opiate dependence 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 medications. Someone who has been off all opioid drugs 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 medications, because of the fact that being treated with Naltrexone along with these types of meds can cause sudden withdrawal symptoms.

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