Naltrexone - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Philadelphia, PA.

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 treatment of alcohol dependence as it apparently lessens the user's need 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 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 negates the effect of opioid medications. An individual who has been off all opioid drugs for seven to ten days can begin taking Naltrexone, but they will have to stop taking all other opioid meds while taking the medication. This would include taking Methadone or similar maintenance therapy meds, because of the fact that taking Naltrexone along with these kinds of medications can cause sudden withdrawal reactions.

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