Naltrexone - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Roseburg, OR.

Naltrexone is a prescription 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 as it appears to decrease the addict's desire to drink. Naltrexone can either be administered daily by tablet, or in injection form that can be administered once per every four weeks, although the injection can cost up to $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 blocks the effect of opioid drugs. Someone who has been off all opioid meds for seven to ten days can begin treatment with Naltrexone, but they will have to stop taking all other opioid meds while taking the drug. This would include taking Methadone or similar maintenance therapy meds, because of the fact that being treated with Naltrexone along with these kinds of medications can cause sudden withdrawal reactions.

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