Naltrexone Treatment
Naltrexone is an optional treatment whose use is usually discussed between the patient, the family and our medical professionals.
In the (accelerated) 30-day program, Naltrexone implantation is mandatory.
Naltrexone is a very effective prescription medicine that is designed to inhibit cravings associated with drug and alcohol abuse.
In our 4-week intensive program, the implant slowly releases the medication into the body for 3 months and can be re-implanted as often as is required. The treatment begins to block the receptors in the brain responsible for cravings associated with alcohol and opioid use.
