Ever wondered what happens if you drink alcohol while taking naltrexone? This episode of 'Recovery Partner Network' sheds light on this very question. Unlike Antabuse, which can make you feel quite ill if you drink, naltrexone works differently. It doesn't cause sickness but instead blocks the pleasurable effects of alcohol, making drinking less appealing.
The hosts dive into the science behind how naltrexone interacts with alcohol in your system, and why it’s often chosen as a treatment option for those looking to cut down or quit drinking. They also compare it to other medications like Antabuse, giving you a clearer picture of your options. If you're curious about how naltrexone could fit into your recovery journey, this episode offers some valuable insights.
Tune in to learn more about how this medication can help you or a loved one take control over alcohol dependence.
