Naltrexone - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Hampton, NH.

Naltrexone is a prescription medication 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 need to consume alcohol. Naltrexone comes in tablet form, or there is an extended-release injection that can be given once a month, however the injection can cost around $1,100 a month.

The difference between Naltrexone and other medications used to treat opiate addiction is that unlike Methadone which is an agonist and is not unlike heroin, Naltrexone is an opiate antagonist, and negates the effect of opioid medications. An individual who has been off all opioid drugs for seven to ten days can begin taking Naltrexone, but they will have to stop taking all other opioid medications while taking the drug. 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 reactions.

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