Naltrexone - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Geneseo, NY.

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 appears to decrease the addict's desire to drink. Naltrexone comes in tablet form, or there is an extended-release injection that can be administered once an every four weeks, however 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 very similar to heroin, Naltrexone is an opiate antagonist, and negates the effects of opioid meds. Someone 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 medication. This would include taking Methadone or similar maintenance therapy drugs, due to the fact that taking Naltrexone along with these types of drugs can cause sudden withdrawal reactions.

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