Naltrexone - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Flemington, NJ.

Naltrexone is a prescription medicine used in the treatment of opiate and prescription opioid abuse and addiction because it stops the activity of opioids. It is also used in the management of alcohol addiction because 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 a month, however the injection can cost around $1,100 per month.

The difference between Naltrexone and other meds 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 effects of opioid drugs. Someone who has been off all opioid drugs for 7-10 days can begin treatment with 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 medications, because of the fact that taking Naltrexone along with these types of meds can cause sudden withdrawal symptoms.

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