Look it up. Naltrexone breaks the cycle of addiction and brings new hope for alcohol dependence and opiate drug addiction. How long will the FDA keep it available? Why aren’t we hearing about this?
Naltrexone is one of the first anti-craving medications approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in the treatment of alcoholism and opiate addiction. In clinical trials, LDN has been shown to halt disease progression in Crohn’s disease and certain cancers, including pancreatic cancer, and to reduce symptoms in multiple sclerosis (MS) and autism. Ongoing trials are evaluating LDN in fibromyalgia and HIV/AIDS. Anecdotally, LDN has been shown to improve almost every autoimmune and neurodegenerative condition, including Parkinson’s disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Naltrexone modulates the immune system and promotes healing.
Naltrexone comes in two forms:
1) Vivirol®-an injectable time released form of naltrexone that is taken once a month. 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.
From a clinical psychiatrist:
“Naltrexone does work very well in about 75% of addicts who take it. No detox/hospitalization cost. It only fails in 12% of people who give it a chance. Only 10% of people drop out of treatment since it is so easy. It may not work unless you wait a full hour before you start drinking after taking the pill. A must read on the subject would be The Cure for Alcoholism by Roy Eskapa.”
