Naltrexone - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Salisbury, MD.

Naltrexone is a prescription medication used in the treatment of opiate and prescription opioid abuse and addiction because it stops the activity of opioids. It is also used in the treatment of alcohol addiction as it apparently lessens 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 given once per month, however the injection can cost around $1,100 a month.

The difference between Naltrexone and other drugs used to treat opiate dependence is that unlike 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 medications. Someone who has been abstaining from all opioid medications for seven to ten 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 meds, due to the fact that taking Naltrexone along with these kinds of drugs can cause sudden withdrawal reactions.

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