Naltrexone - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Belleville, PA.

Naltrexone is a medication 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 treatment of alcohol addiction as it appears to decrease the user's desire to consume alcohol. Naltrexone comes in tablet form, or in injection form that can be administered once a month, however the injection can cost up to $1,100 a month.

The difference between Naltrexone and other medications used to treat opiate addiction is that not like Methadone which is an agonist and is very similar to heroin, Naltrexone is an opiate antagonist, and negates the effect of opioid medications. An individual who has been abstaining from all opioid meds for 7-10 days can begin treatment with Naltrexone, but they will have to remain off all other opioid medications 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 types of meds can cause sudden withdrawal symptoms.

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