Naltrexone - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Albion, IN.

Naltrexone is a prescription med used in the treatment of opiate and prescription opioid abuse and addiction because it stops the activity of opiates. It is also used in the management of alcohol dependence because 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 an every four weeks, however the injection can cost around $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 has many of the same properties as heroin, Naltrexone is an opiate antagonist, and blocks the effects of opioid medications. An individual who has been off all opioid drugs for 7-10 days can begin taking Naltrexone, but they will have to stop taking all other opioid drugs while taking the drug. This would include taking Methadone or similar maintenance therapy meds, due to the fact that taking Naltrexone along with these types of medications can cause sudden withdrawal reactions.

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