Naltrexone - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Tulsa, OK.

Naltrexone is a prescription medication 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 dependence as it appears to decrease the addict's need to drink. Naltrexone comes in tablet form, or there is an extended-release injection that can be administered once per month, although the injection can cost up to $1,100 per month.

The difference between Naltrexone and other drugs used to treat opiate addiction is that unlike Methadone which is an agonist and is not unlike heroin, Naltrexone is an opiate antagonist, and blocks the effect of opioid meds. Someone who has been off all opioid medications for 7-10 days can begin taking 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 drugs, due to the fact that being treated with Naltrexone along with these kinds of medications can cause sudden withdrawal reactions.

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