Naltrexone - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Gresham, WI.

Naltrexone is a medication used in the treatment of opiate and prescription opioid 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 consume alcohol. Naltrexone can either be administered daily by tablet, or there is an extended-release injection that can be given once a month, although the injection can cost up to $1,100 per month.

The difference between Naltrexone and other meds 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 blocks the effect of opioid drugs. An individual who has been abstaining from all opioid meds for 7-10 days can begin taking 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 drugs, due to the fact that being treated with Naltrexone along with these kinds of meds can cause sudden withdrawal reactions.

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