Following recent news from the Irish Times, Irish people suffering from alcoholism are travelling to the UK to be fitted with pellets which block the euphoric effects of alcohol.
Naltrexone pellets are fitted into the lower abdomen, lasting 12 weeks.
These block the “high” individuals experience from alcohol intake, thus discouraging continued use. Importantly, individuals must undergo a full alcohol detoxification, before such implants can be fitted.
Abbeycare are the only UK clinic to provide both the required detox, and the Naltrexone implant, in the same clinic.
First Step Of The Journey
Naturally, Naltrexone should be viewed as the first step toward long term addiction recovery, rather than a solution in and of itself. Abbeycare always advocate the importance of multiple aftercare supports for the best long term recovery outcomes.
Nevertheless, interventions like Naltrexone can provide the much needed emotional breathing space individuals need, as part of a full aftercare plan.
Naltrexone can also be administered as part of a detox and recovery approach for opiate misuse.
