Doctor Explains What Naltrexone Is? Vivitrol For Addiction Substance Abuse Side Effects 0 Views • 5 months ago

In This video, you'll hear from Dr. Jennifer Montague as she explains what Naltrexone is, also known as Vivitrol, and how it can be the thing to help someone stabilize with medication-assisted treatment.

Read the full blog post for medication-assisted treatment👇
https://www.sandstonecare.com/....medication-assisted-

Sandstone Care prescribes two FDA-approved drugs to treat opioid use disorder: buprenorphine (Suboxone and Subutex are common brands) and naltrexone (Vivitrol and Revia are common brands). These treatments have been demonstrated to be safe and effective in combination with counseling and psychosocial support. These medications either reduce the cravings or block the ability of the drug to create the “high” in the person’s brain.

Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) for Alcohol Use Disorder
According to the CDC, alcohol use disorder is defined by periods of binge and heavy drinking along with physical dependence on alcohol, cravings, drinking more to achieve the desired effect, and experiencing withdrawal symptoms when you do not consume alcohol.

Drastic changes in academic performance
Loss of interest in previously-enjoyed activities
Decreased personal hygiene
Sudden, inexplicable need for money
Alcohol use in spite of consequences
Smell of alcohol on breath or clothes
Flushed, reddened skin
Slurred or garbled speech
Coordination problems
Changes in sleep pattern
Difficulty concentrating
Mood swings
Use of alcohol to numb extreme emotions
Sandstone Care prescribes two FDA-approved drugs to treat alcohol use disorder: naltrexone (Vivitrol and Revia are common brands) and acamprosate (Campral is a common brand). These treatments have been demonstrated to be safe and effective in combination with counseling and psychosocial support.

Who Might Be a Good Fit for Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)?
History of overdose, intentional or unintentional
History of medical complications (infections like septic joints, endocarditis, hepatitis)
History of multiple relapses
Single history of severe/life threatening relapse
Significant cravings
Drug recall euphoria/obsessive thinking
History of high risk behaviors in relapse
Unstable living environment
Continued exposure to use after discharge

Naltrexone for weight loss: Does it work? Side Effects 3 Views • 5 months ago

How to use Naltrexone for weight loss, how naltrexone helps curb appetite, and how to use it to burn fat.

Did you know that naltrexone, also referred to as low dose naltrexone, can help with weight loss?

It's actually an effective weight loss medication provided that it is used in the right way.

LDN or naltrexone or low dose naltrexone (all names for the same medicine) is typically used to treat alcohol dependence. But it was found that it can also be used to treat autoimmune conditions. Then later it was found that LDN also seems to have some weight loss properties.

LDN has very few side effects and it works through a different mechanism compared to other medications which makes it a great add-on for many people.

AS ALWAYS, make sure that you use LDN with OTHER weight loss therapies such as diet, exercise, and so on. Using it in this way is obviously the best.

We are going to discuss 6 ways that LDN (or low dose naltrexone) can help with weight loss:

#1. Naltrexone targets insulin resistance.

Insulin resistance is one of the primary drivers of weight gain and obesity in MANY people. Up to 50% of people in the US suffer from insulin resistance in some form.

LDN helps to drive down insulin levels which can help with weight loss.

#2. Naltrexone increases growth hormone.

Some studies show that naltrexone can also increase or normalize growth hormone levels. And because growth hormone helps maintain muscle mass and fat mass in balance, it will help manage weight.

#3. Naltrexone modulates your appetite.

Naltrexone also helps to MODULATE your appetite. Notice I said modulate and not suppress. It actually helps to reduce cravings for foods you shouldn't be eating and it helps you to eat the normal amount of calories you should be each day (instead of overeating).

#4. Naltrexone reduces inflammation.

Naltrexone ALSO helps to lower inflammation. Inflammation is a driver of fat cell dysfunction and weight gain by itself. So if you reduce inflammation you will help with weight loss indirectly.

This reduction in inflammation is also why LDN is often used to treat autoimmune conditions.

#5. Naltrexone improves your sleep.

Naltrexone has also been shown to regulate sleep cycles and to help improve sleeping patterns. Because a lack of sleep is associated with obesity, anything which improves your sleep may help with weight loss.

#6. Naltrexone improves and increases thyroid hormone.
