naltrexone

Naltrexone blocks the parts of your brain that “feel” pleasure from alcohol and narcotics. When these areas of the brain are blocked, you feel less need to drink alcohol, and you can stop drinking more easily.

Naltrexone is also commonly prescribed to treat Opioid addictions. By blocking the harmful effects of Opioids, the medication reduces the cravings usually caused by the drugs. It should be used as part of a comprehensive recovery program that may consist of counseling, support groups, and other treatment methods recommended by your doctor or licensed therapist.
