Naltrexone - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Beulah, ND.

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 because it appears to decrease the user's need 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 up to $1,100 a month.

The difference between Naltrexone and other meds 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 meds. An individual who has been abstaining from 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 meds, because of the fact that taking Naltrexone along with these types of meds can cause sudden withdrawal symptoms.

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