Naltrexone - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Bel Air, MD.

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 addiction 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 a month, however the injection can cost up to $1,100 a month.

The difference between Naltrexone and other medications used to treat opiate dependence is that not like Methadone which is an agonist and is very similar to heroin, Naltrexone is an opiate antagonist, and negates the effect of opioid drugs. An individual 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 medications while taking the medication. This would include taking Methadone or similar maintenance therapy meds, because of the fact that taking Naltrexone along with these types of medications can cause sudden withdrawal symptoms.

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