Naltrexone - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - San Rafael, CA.

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 appears to decrease the user's desire to drink. Naltrexone comes in tablet form, or there is an extended-release injection that can be given once per month, however the injection can cost around $1,100 per month.

The difference between Naltrexone and other drugs used to treat opiate dependence is that unlike Methadone which is an agonist and is not unlike heroin, Naltrexone is an opiate antagonist, and blocks the effect of opioid medications. An individual who has been abstaining from all opioid medications for 7-10 days can begin treatment with Naltrexone, but they will have to remain off all other opioid drugs 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 drugs can cause sudden withdrawal reactions.

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