Gain Clarity and Control with Naltrexone Treatment
At Recovery Unlimited, we offer Medication-Assisted Treatment using Naltrexone to support lasting recovery from opioid addiction. Naltrexone is a non-addictive medication that helps prevent relapse by blocking opioid effects, reducing cravings, and allowing individuals to regain mental clarity. Our compassionate medical team and counselors provide personalized support, empowering you to reclaim control over your life and build a strong foundation for long-term wellness.
What is Naltrexone Assisted Treatment?
Naltrexone is an FDA-approved medication that helps people recovering from opioid addiction by completely blocking opioid receptors in the brain. Unlike Methadone or Suboxone, Naltrexone is not an opioid; it doesn’t produce physical dependence or euphoria. Instead, it works by preventing opioids from producing pleasurable effects, significantly reducing cravings and relapse risk. Administered via a convenient monthly injection (Vivitrol) or a daily oral pill, Naltrexone provides a safe, reliable tool to support sustained recovery.
Why Choose Naltrexone Treatment?
Non-Addictive and Safe
Naltrexone is completely non-addictive, carries no risk of misuse, and does not cause physical dependence, making it safe for long-term use.
Proven Relapse Prevention
Naltrexone significantly reduces the risk of relapse by blocking the euphoric and sedative effects of opioids, empowering you to maintain sobriety and build confidence in recovery.
Convenient Treatment Approach
Available as a once-monthly injection (Vivitrol), Naltrexone treatment fits seamlessly into your lifestyle, reducing clinic visits and providing a stable, manageable recovery option.
What to Expect During Naltrexone Treatment
