Naltrexone: A Steady Hand to Help You Through Recovery.
When you’re working to break free from alcohol or opioid dependence, it’s the small wins that build real momentum. At our Wellness Center in Florida, we use Naltrexone as part of that support system — a tool that’s helped many people stay on track, cut down cravings, and keep moving forward. It’s FDA-approved, non-habit forming, and works quietly behind the scenes, giving you space to focus on your own healing.
How It Works:
Naltrexone attaches to the same parts of the brain that drugs or alcohol usually light up — but it doesn’t turn on those pleasure signals. Instead, it blocks them. That means if you do drink or use, the usual high just isn’t there. And over time, those urges can start to lose their grip, giving you room to breathe and rebuild.
At AffordaHealth Pain Relief & Wellness, we’re not just handing out medications — we’re showing up for you. From Naltrexone support to one-on-one care, therapy, and aftercare planning, we’re here to walk with you through each part of the process. You’re not just another chart or file — you’re someone we care about. That’s the kind of care you can expect from a team known for Personalized Patient Care.

Types of Naltrexone.
There are two types of naltrexone, oral and injectable. Oral naltrexone is ingested as a pill usually once a day, while injectable naltrexone, commonly known as Vivitrol, is administered monthly. Both types of naltrexone have been proven effective in decreasing cravings and preventing relapse.
Side Effects of Naltrexone
Naltrexone, like any other medication, can cause side effects. Common side effects of oral naltrexone are nausea, headache, and dizziness, while injectable naltrexone may cause pain or swelling at the injection site, as well as nausea and headache. These side effects are usually mild and self-resolving.
Benefits of Naltrexone
However, naltrexone has several advantages for individuals dealing with addiction. It can help reduce cravings and prevent relapse, which can be particularly beneficial during the initial stages of recovery. Furthermore, studies have shown that naltrexone is generally safe and effective, with minimal severe side effects.
Is Naltrexone Right for You?
If you or someone you care about is struggling with addiction, it may be worth considering naltrexone as a viable option. It is critical to consult with a healthcare provider to determine whether naltrexone is appropriate for your situation. Your healthcare provider can assist you in evaluating the medication's benefits and drawbacks and devising a personalized treatment strategy.
