About Naltrexone

Naltrexone is a medically assisted treatment commonly used in addiction treatment rehabs to help individuals battling alcohol and opioid addiction. It is an opioid antagonist, which means it works by blocking the euphoric and sedative effects of drugs such as heroin and morphine. By doing so, Naltrexone reduces the craving for these substances, aiding individuals in their recovery process. Typically administered in pill form or as a monthly injection, this medication can be part of a comprehensive treatment plan that includes therapy and support. Naltrexone is especially beneficial for those who have completed the withdrawal phase, as it helps prevent relapse by reducing the desire to use.

What to Look For in a Naltrexone Program

Medication for addiction treatment has the strongest evidence base in the field — for opioid use disorder, buprenorphine, methadone and extended-release naltrexone are the only treatments shown to reduce mortality, and naltrexone, acamprosate and disulfiram are approved and under-used for alcohol use disorder. Medication works best combined with counselling, and it should never be conditional on agreeing to a taper timetable set before you started.

1

Prescriber access

Who prescribes, how soon after admission you are seen, and how often thereafter.

Ask about Naltrexone Which medications do you offer, and who prescribes them?

2

No arbitrary taper requirement

Duration should be a clinical decision made with you. Programs requiring discontinuation as a condition of admission are departing from the evidence.

Ask about Naltrexone Will I be required to taper off as a condition of staying in the program?

3

Counselling alongside the medication

Medication with no therapeutic support, monitoring or plan is not a complete course of treatment either.

Ask about Naltrexone How is the prescription continued after discharge, and is the first appointment booked in advance?

4

Continuity after discharge

The prescription has to survive the transition. Ask who writes it afterwards and whether the first appointment is booked before you leave.

Ask about Naltrexone Is counselling included alongside the medication?

5

Practical dosing logistics

Methadone for opioid use disorder is dispensed only through federally certified opioid treatment programs, which means daily attendance initially. Buprenorphine can be prescribed by any practitioner with a standard DEA registration.

Ask about Naltrexone How are missed doses and take-home doses handled?

Questions to Ask About Naltrexone. Ask these on the first call, before you tour anything or send a deposit. Written answers are better than verbal ones, and a program that will not answer plainly has answered.

If you would rather not make those calls yourself, our specialists will make them with you — confidential, at 1-888-685-2199. You can also check how accreditation works, what your insurance is likely to cover, or the payment options available if you are uninsured.

Naltrexone: Frequently Asked Questions

No. Taken as prescribed, buprenorphine and methadone stabilise the opioid system without producing intoxication, and naltrexone blocks opioid effects entirely; all three reduce overdose deaths. The claim that medication is not real recovery is a cultural position rather than a clinical one, and it has cost lives — which is why leading medical and public health bodies recommend these medications as first-line care for opioid use disorder.
There is no standard duration, and longer treatment is associated with better outcomes for opioid use disorder in particular. Discontinuation is a clinical decision that should be made with a prescriber when you are stable and supported, not set as a condition of entering a program.
Coverage is common — Medicaid programs cover medications for opioid use disorder in every state, and commercial plans that cover substance use benefits are subject to federal parity rules. Specifics such as prior authorisation, preferred formulations and pharmacy versus in-clinic dispensing vary, so verify with your plan and ask the program which medications it is able to prescribe.
