Naltrexone - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Twin Falls, ID.

Naltrexone is a medicine used in the treatment of opiate and prescription opioid addiction because it stops the activity of opiates. It is also used in the management of alcohol dependence as it apparently lessens the user's need to drink. Naltrexone can either be administered daily by tablet, or in injection form that can be administered once per every four weeks, however the injection can cost around $1,100 per month.

The difference between Naltrexone and other drugs used to treat opiate addiction is that not like Methadone which is an agonist and has many of the same properties as heroin, Naltrexone is an opiate antagonist, and negates the effect of opioid meds. Someone who has been off all opioid medications for 7-10 days can begin taking Naltrexone, but they will have to stop taking all other opioid meds while taking the medication. This would include taking Methadone or similar maintenance therapy drugs, because of the fact that taking Naltrexone along with these kinds of medications can cause sudden withdrawal reactions.

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