What is naltrexone?

Naltrexone is a non-addictive prescription medication used to support recovery from alcohol or opioid use disorder. Unlike medications that replace one substance with another, naltrexone works by blocking opioid receptors in the brain — the same receptors responsible for the pleasurable and reinforcing effects of alcohol and opioids. Taken daily as a pill or monthly as an injection, it reduces cravings over time and helps break the cycle of use. It works best as part of a broader recovery plan.

Opioid receptor blockade

Naltrexone binds to opioid receptors without activating them, preventing alcohol and opioids from producing their usual rewarding effects.

Craving reduction

By disrupting the brain's reward response, naltrexone gradually reduces the intensity and frequency of urges over time.

Non-habit-forming

Unlike some recovery medications, naltrexone carries no risk of dependence and does not produce a high at any dose.
