Naltrexone - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Tully, 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 addict's need to consume alcohol. Naltrexone can either be administered daily by tablet, or in injection form that can be given once per month, however the injection can cost around $1,100 per month.

The difference between Naltrexone and other meds used to treat opiate dependence is that unlike 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 medications for seven to ten days can begin taking Naltrexone, but they will have to stop taking all other opioid drugs while taking the drug. This would include taking Methadone or similar maintenance therapy medications, because of the fact that taking Naltrexone along with these kinds of medications can cause sudden withdrawal reactions.

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