Naltrexone - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Mount Kisco, NY.

Naltrexone is a prescription 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 management of alcohol addiction as it appears to decrease the addict's need to drink. Naltrexone comes in tablet form, or in injection form that can be given 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 unlike Methadone which is an agonist and is not unlike heroin, Naltrexone is an opiate antagonist, and negates the effects of opioid drugs. Someone who has been abstaining from all opioid meds for 7-10 days can begin taking 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 medications, 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 along with a full Mount Kisco rehab program which would include counseling, behavioral modification, lifestyle changes, and compliance monitoring.
