Naltrexone - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Centreville, MD.

Naltrexone is a prescription med 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 apparently lessens the user's need to consume alcohol. Naltrexone comes in tablet form, or in injection form that can be given once a month, although the injection can cost up to $1,100 per month.

The difference between Naltrexone and other meds 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 effect of opioid drugs. Someone who has been off 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 medication. This would include taking Methadone or similar maintenance therapy drugs, because of the fact that being treated with Naltrexone along with these kinds of drugs can cause sudden withdrawal reactions.

Naltrexone is meant to be used in conjunction with a full Centreville treatment program which would include compliance monitoring, counseling, lifestyle changes, and behavior modification.
