Naltrexone - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Staten Island, NY.

Naltrexone is a medicine used in the treatment of opiate and prescription opioid addiction because it stops the activity of opioids. It is also used in the management of alcohol addiction because it apparently lessens the addict's desire to consume alcohol. Naltrexone can either be administered daily by tablet, or in injection form that can be administered once an every four weeks, although the injection can cost up to $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 is not unlike heroin, Naltrexone is an opiate antagonist, and blocks the effects of opioid drugs. An individual who has been off all opioid meds for seven to ten 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 medications, because of the fact that being treated with Naltrexone along with these kinds of meds can cause sudden withdrawal symptoms.

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