Completing a drug detox is an emotional experience — patients are often proud to finish the process, nervous about the future and excited to begin a new life without drugs or alcohol. But staying free from addiction can be extremely difficult, and we understand how hard it can be to avoid falling back into old habits. That’s why Coleman Addiction Medicine uses Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) to help support long-term recovery: Naltrexone Therapy.
Naltrexone is a medication that can be a powerful buffer during the challenging first weeks and months of recovery. With the help of Naltrexone, patients are freed from intense cravings and unable to get high, which gives them the strength and support to look beyond their physical symptoms and begin focusing on the psychological aspects of committing to their recovery.
