Naltrexone - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Baton Rouge, LA.

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 treatment of alcohol addiction 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, although the injection can cost up to $1,100 per month.

The difference between Naltrexone and other drugs used to treat opiate dependence 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 medications. An individual who has been abstaining from all opioid drugs for 7-10 days can begin taking 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 drugs, due to 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 full Baton Rouge rehab program which would include counseling, behavioral modification, lifestyle changes, and compliance monitoring.
