Naltrexone - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Havre De Grace, MD.

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 addiction as it apparently lessens the user's need to consume alcohol. Naltrexone comes in tablet form, or in injection form that can be administered once per every four weeks, although the injection can cost around $1,100 a month.

The difference between Naltrexone and other drugs used to treat opiate addiction is that not like Methadone which is an agonist and is not unlike heroin, Naltrexone is an opiate antagonist, and blocks the effect of opioid drugs. Someone who has been abstaining from all opioid drugs for 7-10 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 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 in conjunction with a comprehensive Havre De Grace rehab program which would include counseling, behavioral modification, lifestyle changes, and compliance monitoring.
