Naltrexone - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Harrison, NY.

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 management of alcohol addiction because it appears to decrease the user's need to drink. Naltrexone comes in tablet form, or in injection form that can be given once an every four weeks, although 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 effect of opioid drugs. An individual who has been off all opioid drugs for 7-10 days can begin treatment with Naltrexone, but they will have to remain off all other opioid drugs while taking the medication. This would include taking Methadone or similar maintenance therapy drugs, because of the fact that being treated with Naltrexone along with these types of medications can cause sudden withdrawal reactions.

Naltrexone is meant to be used in conjunction with a comprehensive Harrison rehab program which would include counseling, behavioral modification, lifestyle changes, and compliance monitoring.
