Naltrexone - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Rockville, MD.

Naltrexone is a 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 as it appears to decrease the addict's desire to consume alcohol. Naltrexone can either be administered daily by tablet, or there is an extended-release injection that can be administered once per every four weeks, however the injection can cost around $1,100 a month.

The difference between Naltrexone and other drugs used to treat opiate dependence is that not like Methadone which is an agonist and has many of the same properties as heroin, Naltrexone is an opiate antagonist, and blocks the effect of opioid drugs. An individual who has been abstaining from all opioid drugs for 7-10 days can begin treatment with Naltrexone, but they will have to remain off all other opioid meds 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 kinds of medications can cause sudden withdrawal symptoms.

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