Naltrexone - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - San Diego, CA.

Naltrexone is a prescription medicine used in the treatment of opiate and prescription opioid addiction because it stops the activity of opiates. It is also used in the treatment of alcohol addiction because it appears to decrease the addict's desire to drink. Naltrexone comes in tablet form, or in injection form that can be administered once an every four weeks, however the injection can cost up to $1,100 a month.

The difference between Naltrexone and other drugs 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 negates the effect of opioid drugs. An individual who has been abstaining from all opioid medications for 7-10 days can begin treatment with Naltrexone, but they will have to stop taking all other opioid medications while taking the medication. This would include taking Methadone or similar maintenance therapy meds, because of the fact that being treated with Naltrexone along with these types of medications can cause sudden withdrawal symptoms.

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