Naltrexone is a potent opioid antagonist that works by blocking the effects of illicit opioids, occupying opioid receptors in the brain. This medication is available in two forms: a daily pill or an injectable option, like the well-known Vivitrol®. The injectable form is administered by a healthcare provider once every 28 days, providing a convenient alternative for those who prefer not to take daily medication.
While naltrexone doesn’t relieve withdrawal symptoms, it effectively reduces cravings, making it easier for patients to stay committed to their treatment plan. This approach supports a sustainable recovery, empowering individuals to reclaim their lives from addiction.
Naltrexone is available as a daily pill or monthly injection, providing convenient dosing and administration options that meet patients’ unique needs.
Naltrexone effectively minimizes alcohol and opioid cravings to help patients stay in treatment and avoid relapse.
Because naltrexone occupies opioid receptors in the brain, it successfully blocks feelings of euphoria from illicit opioids without forming new habits.
Naltrexone is a long-lasting injection that is administered every 28 days, reducing chances of missed doses.
