Naltrexone Implant


The Rapid Drug Detox Center is the only anesthesia detox center that offers the Naltrexone Implant.

Naltrexone is an opiate blocking medication, (not to be confused with Suboxone/Subutex; Buprenorphine, which are opiates). The implant is recommended as part of the aftercare program for rapid anesthesia detox, as it helps to reduce cravings and prevents any feeling from an ingested opiate by blocking the uptake of an opiate drug on the opiate receptors. Once the anesthesia detox procedure is completed and the opiate receptors are clean, the small implant is then placed just under the skin in the lower abdomen while the patient is still under anesthesia. The Naltrexone medication that is constantly released from the implant has a very strong affinity to the opiate receptors and after detoxification, will attach to the now empty receptors to help with cravings and block all opiates at the receptor sites.

Rapid Drug Detox Center recommends the dissolvable Naltrexone Implant rather than the pill form because it provides a precise and continuous dosage of the opiate blocking medication. If you were to use opiates while medicated with Naltrexone, you would not experience the effects of the drug. Naltrexone is non-addictive and does not cause withdrawal when you stop the medication. Rapid Drug Detox Center generally recommends the Naltrexone Implant and/or the oral pill form of this medication to be continued for a full year to ensure long term sobriety which gives the patient the best chance for learning how to deal with life without opiates.

The Naltrexone Implant will entirely dissolve and disappear in 2 months. We strongly encourage the placement of this small medicated pellet at the time of the anesthesia detoxification procedure. This will ensure the patient has continuous protection without having to worry about taking a pill everyday and the family members will not have to worry about the patient's compliance.

The implant has been a major reason for many of our patient’s continued success. Some of our patients will come back every 2 months for another implant. Patients like the security they feel and most are amazed at the lack of cravings the implant provides. For others, once the implant dissolves we will provide the patient with a 1 year prescription for the oral pill form of this medication which they can get monthly from their local pharmacy.

The implant can only be placed when a person has been detoxed under anesthesia and is ‘clean’ from all opiates. New patients wanting just the implant must detox 'cold turkey' on their own and have remained off of all opiates for 10-30 days, depending on the specific opiate use. These patients are very few because most cannot endure the suffering of a 'cold turkey' detox and find it hard to stay 'clean' for the required time.

Rapid Drug Detox Center currently provides a two month Naltrexone Implant that is placed at the time of the anesthesia detox procedure for $800.
