Naltrexone - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Spanish Fork, UT.

Naltrexone is a prescription medicine 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 addiction because it appears to decrease the user's need to drink. Naltrexone can either be administered daily by tablet, or in injection form that can be given once an every four weeks, however the injection can cost up to $1,100 a month.

The difference between Naltrexone and other meds used to treat opiate addiction is that unlike Methadone which is an agonist and is very similar to heroin, Naltrexone is an opiate antagonist, and blocks the effects of opioid medications. An individual 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 medications while taking the drug. This would include taking Methadone or similar maintenance therapy drugs, because of the fact that being treated with Naltrexone along with these kinds of drugs can cause sudden withdrawal reactions.

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