Naltrexone Breaks the Cycle of Addiction New hope for alcohol dependence and opiate drug addiction. Naltrexone is one of the first anti-craving medications approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in the treatment of alcoholism and opiate addiction. Naltrexone comes in two forms: 1) Vivirol®-an injectable time released form of naltrexone that is taken once a month. Click to visit Vivitrol’s website for more information. 2) ReVia© or naltrexone- taken daily in pill form. Here are some of the many benefits of naltrexone in the treatment of drug and alcohol dependence: • Most patients experience dramatic reductions in craving within hours of taking the first dose. • Naltrexone blocks the high of alcohol and narcotics, reducing the incentive to drink or use drugs and significantly increasing treatment success. • Naltrexone is a non-habit forming medication that can be discontinued at any time. • Naltrexone can be given with other medications, especially those used to treat depression and other such psychiatric conditions. • Naltrexone works best when used in combination with relapse-prevention therapies. Call Assisted Recovery’s 24-Hour Help Line (314) 645-6840 for a free, confidential consultation.

I am currently on this drug to help my benzodiazepine withdraws, can someone tell me if it stops me from feeling my weed buzz?

Naltrexone is great. It can be used via the “Sinclair method” to get rid of the craving associated with the alcohol. I highly recommend it to anyone who has had trouble kicking alcoholism.
