Naltrexone is a long acng opioid

antagonist. It works by blocking the

opioid receptors in the brain and

therefor blocks the effects of heroin

and other opioids. People who are

under naltrexone protecon can't

achieve the "high" from using heroin.

Naltrexone neither produces euphoria

not creates a new drug addicon.

Naltrexone treatment is the best

choice for people who passed opioid

detoxificaon and highly movated to

stay in recovery. In means of

prophylacc measures the Naltrexone

program is the best opon to prevent

a relapse to opioid use. However, Nal-

trexone is not a miracle medicine. The

success ofnaltrexone treatment also

depends on person's level of commit-

ment to treatment and the level of

support available to him.


Naltrexone doesn't cure craving for

drugs. For that reason and for obtain-

ing the best result from naltrexone

therapy the paent is recommended

to take part in a treatment program

that deals with both the physical and

psychological aspects of drug addic-

on. It is also recommended to stay

out of the environment in which drugs

are readily available.

The mechanism of acon of Naltrex-

one in alcoholism is not completely

understood. It is thought that endog-

enous opioid system is involved in

mechanism of creaon of alcohol de-

pendence. Naltrexone, being a full

opioid receptor antagonist, compe-

vely binds to such receptors and

blocks the effects of endogenous opi-

oids.

2/4

Alcoholism is medically defined as a disease.

According to Wikipedia ( the free encyclopedia): Alcoholism is a disabling addictive disorder

characterized by compulsive and uncontrolled consumption of alcohol despite its negative effects on

the drinkers health, relationships, and social standing.

Alcoholism is a chronic disease just like other drug addictions or blood hypertension, diabetes or

arthritis are diseases.

Chronic means that it lasts for a long time and causes the problems again and again. Alcoholism is a

treatable disease. The main goal of treatment for alcoholism is to stop drinking alcohol. It is a difficult

task, because most people who used to abuse alcohol still often feel a strong desire for alcohol even

after they stop drinking. There are few different types of treatment for alcohol addiction are

available nowadays.

One of them is Naltrexone program.

The mechanism of action of Naltrexone in alcoholism is not completely understood. It is thought that

endogenous opioid system is involved in mechanism of creation of alcohol dependence. Naltrexone,

being a full opioid receptor antagonist, competitively binds to such receptors and blocks the effects

of endogenous opioids. Some scientists believe it works by affecting the neural pathways in the brain

where the neurotransmitter dopamine is found.

Numerous clinical studies have shown that treatment with Naltrexone supports abstinence, reduces

craving for alcohol, prevents relapse, helps people stay sober for a long time.. This medicine is not a

complete cure for alcoholism, but it can help alcoholics stop drinking while they get any other

recommended treatments. Like most pharmaceutical treatment programs for alcohol and drug

abuse, Naltrexone therapy works best if it is used in connection with an overall treatment regime,

such as psychosocial therapy, counseling and support group participation.

Naltrexone is primarily used in the management of alcohol dependence and opioid addiction.

Naltrexone hydrochloride is available as the brand name Revia and Depade.

In April 2006, the FDA approved a time-extended (once-a-month) injectible form of Naltrexone underthe name of Vivitrol for the treatment of alcohol addiction. Several studies demonstrated that the

monthly injection form of Naltrexone was more effective in maintaining abstinence over the pill

form, because it excludes the problem of medication compliance.

In form of tablets Naltrexone is usually prescribed to be taken once a day. Generally, it is prescribed

for 3 months to help those people who have stopped drinking to reduce their craving for alcohol

during the early days of recovery when the risk of a relapse is the highest.

Naltrexone is not aversive therapy, so it does not cause a disulfiram-like reaction in case of ethanol

ingestion.

3/4

The combination of naltrexone and disulfiram , a drug that is also used for alcohol abuse treatment

as an aversive therapy, may cause increased liver toxicity and liver damage when taken together. This

combination should be avoided or at least be discussed with a doctor and approved for short-term

use.

Naltrexone side effects

Results of many medical trials demonstrated that the side effects of Naltrexone appear to be similar

in both alcoholic and opioid dependent cases, and that they are usually short-lived and mild. The

most common side effect is nausea. The other less common naltrexone side effects are dizziness,

insomnia, headache, anxiety, nervousness, drowsiness.

People who have acute hepatitis, liver or kidney disease should not take Naltrexone.

Because naltrexone affects brain areas where narcotics and alcohol work, any narcotics, such as

codeine, morphine or heroin must not be taken while you are on naltrexone. Any cough medicine

containing codeine in it must be avoided. Naltrexone can cause or worsen withdrawal symptoms in

people who are taking opiates or opioid containg medications. All opioids must be completely

excluded in 7 to 10 days before naltrexone treatment starts.

However in case of pain management non-narcotic pain relievers can be effectively used without

restriction while a person is on Naltrexone treatment.

Naltrexone is likely to have little impact on other medications patients commonly use such as

antibiotics, sedatives, allergy medications. Because naltrexone is metabolized by the liver, other

medications that affect liver function may affect the dose of naltrexone.

Naltrexone usually has no euphoric or any other psychological effect and the patients are not getting

either high or down while they are on naltrexone.

Naltrexone is not addictive medication. Naltrexone does not cause physical dependence and it can be

stopped at any time without withdrawal symptoms. While it does seem to reduce alcohol craving, it

does not interfere with the experience of other types of pleasure.

People who are on Naltrexone are advised to carry a card explaining that they are under naltrexoneprotection and to instruct their physicians on pain management. In case of going to have optional

surgery, Naltrexone intake should be stopped at least 72 hours beforehand.

If naltrexone is well tolerated and the patient is successful in staying abstain from alcohol, the

recommended initial course of treatment is 3 months. During that time the patient and the doctor

should evaluate the need to continue treatment on the basis of degree of improvement and degree

of continued concerns about relapse.

4/4

Alcoholism is both physical and mental disease. Both body and mind must be treated. To achieve the

best result to overcome an addiction we recommend complex therapy combining medicine and

psychosocial treatments.

These treatments are supposed to help you to change your behavior and cope with your problems

without using alcohol. There is a range of available psychosocial treatments such as counseling,

family therapy, group therapy, Alcoholics Anonymous meetings and in-hospital treatment. In-hospital

treatment, to our professional opinion, is the most effective method of treatment ( particularly in

initial stage of treatment) due to possibility of using special medical techniques and apparatuses to

restore chemical imbalance in the brain of an addict and thus to create a good ground for the next

steps in a process of successful recovery.
