Naltrexone - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Sand Springs, OK.

Naltrexone is a prescription med used in the treatment of opiate and prescription opioid addiction because it stops the activity of opioids. It is also used in the treatment of alcohol dependence because it appears to decrease the user's desire to drink. Naltrexone can either be administered daily by tablet, or in injection form that can be given once a month, however the injection can cost up to $1,100 per month.

The difference between Naltrexone and other medications used to treat opiate addiction is that not like Methadone which is an agonist and is not unlike heroin, Naltrexone is an opiate antagonist, and negates the effects of opioid medications. An individual who has been abstaining from all opioid medications for seven to ten days can begin taking Naltrexone, but they will have to stop taking all other opioid drugs while taking the medication. This would include taking Methadone or similar maintenance therapy drugs, because of the fact that being treated with Naltrexone along with these kinds of drugs can cause sudden withdrawal symptoms.

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