Naltrexone is an opioid blocking medication.
It is FDA approved for both opioid and alcohol addiction. The Florida Detox treatment program prescribes Naltrexone to all patients after they are detoxified. Patients are asleep under general anesthesia and so feel nothing, nor do they have any recollection of their withdrawal once they are awake. Most patients feel groggy and experience only mild discomfort after detoxification. Florida Detox medical staff is trained to ensure patient comfort before, and after the rapid detoxification procedure phase of the treatment.
