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

Naltrexone is a med 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 dependence as it apparently lessens the addict's need to drink. Naltrexone comes in tablet form, or there is an extended-release injection that can be administered once per month, however the injection can cost around $1,100 a month.

The difference between Naltrexone and other medications 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 blocks the effect of opioid medications. An individual who has been abstaining from all opioid meds for 7-10 days can begin treatment with Naltrexone, but they will have to remain off all other opioid medications while taking the drug. This would include taking Methadone or similar maintenance therapy drugs, because of the fact that being treated with Naltrexone along with these kinds of drugs can cause sudden withdrawal reactions.

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