Naltrexone - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Buffalo, NY.

Naltrexone is a medicine 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 apparently lessens the user's need to consume alcohol. Naltrexone can either be administered daily by tablet, or in injection form that can be given once per month, although 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 is not unlike heroin, Naltrexone is an opiate antagonist, and negates the effect of opioid meds. Someone who has been off all opioid meds for seven to ten days can begin taking Naltrexone, but they will have to stop taking all other opioid meds while taking the drug. This would include taking Methadone or similar maintenance therapy drugs, 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 comprehensive Buffalo rehab program which would include counseling, behavioral modification, lifestyle changes, and compliance monitoring.
