Naltrexone - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Milwaukee, WI.

Naltrexone is a prescription 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 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 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 unlike Methadone which is an agonist and is very similar to heroin, Naltrexone is an opiate antagonist, and blocks the effects of opioid meds. Someone who has been off all opioid meds for 7-10 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 meds, because of the fact that taking Naltrexone along with these types of drugs can cause sudden withdrawal reactions.

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