Naltrexone is a non-addictive daily medication that blocks the effects of opioids and reduces alcohol cravings — a powerful tool for staying on track between visits.
Unlike opioid-based medications, naltrexone is an antagonist: it occupies the receptors opioids target and blocks them outright. There’s no high, no dependence, and no controlled-substance status.
For alcohol, naltrexone works differently but just as meaningfully — dulling the reward drinking produces, which steadily reduces cravings for many patients.
Starting naltrexone requires being fully opioid-free — typically 7 to 10 days. If you’re not there yet, we manage that detox first, then begin treatment at the safe moment.
Your physician reviews your history and confirms you’re ready — including the required opioid-free window.
We begin oral naltrexone and monitor how you respond, adjusting as needed.
Ongoing prescriptions and check-ins keep the protection working — with the option to switch to monthly Vivitrol.
