Naltrexone - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Utica, NY.

Naltrexone is a medication used in the treatment of opiate and prescription opioid abuse and addiction because it stops the activity of opioids. It is also used in the management of alcohol dependence as it appears to decrease the user's desire to drink. Naltrexone comes in tablet form, or there is an extended-release injection that can be administered once a month, however the injection can cost around $1,100 per month.

The difference between Naltrexone and other medications used to treat opiate addiction is that unlike Methadone which is an agonist and is not unlike heroin, Naltrexone is an opiate antagonist, and blocks the effects of opioid medications. An individual who has been abstaining from all opioid medications for 7-10 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 meds, due to the fact that taking Naltrexone along with these kinds of drugs can cause sudden withdrawal symptoms.

Naltrexone is meant to be used along with a full Utica treatment program which would include counseling, behavioral modification, lifestyle changes, and compliance monitoring.
