Can I Get a Naltrexone Prescription at an Outpatient Center?

Yes, you can receive a naltrexone prescription through our outpatient programs. At our center in Easton, PA, we provide Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) as a key component of our evidence-based, holistic approach to recovery.

We strive to make the process of starting naltrexone for alcohol recovery as straightforward and supportive as possible. The steps include:

  • Confidential Assessment: Your journey begins with a call to our team for a private discussion about your history and goals.
  • Medical Evaluation: You will meet with one of our physicians for a thorough medical history review and physical examination. This includes a liver function test (LFT) and urine drug screen to ensure the medication is a safe and appropriate fit for you.
  • Insurance Verification: While you focus on your health, our admissions staff works to verify your insurance coverage and explain your benefits.

We offer both the daily oral tablet and the once-monthly Vivitrol injection. Our clinical team provides consistent follow-up, typically every two to four weeks, to monitor your progress and manage any temporary naltrexone side effects such as nausea or headaches.

To ensure long-term success, we integrate medication with structured therapy. Naltrexone is available through various levels of care, including our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP).
