ReVia Detox and Withdrawal

ReVia is the brand name for the generic drug naltrexone. Doctors use this medication when treating people who are addicted to alcohol or illegal drugs. When a user stops taking illegal drugs or alcohol, the person might exhibit some withdrawal symptoms. These symptoms usually begin within a few days after the person last takes the substance, and the symptoms can continue for several weeks. Naltrexone treats the cravings associated with a specific substance.
“When a user stops taking illegal drugs or alcohol, the person might exhibit some withdrawal symptoms.”
When you drink alcohol or take drugs on a regular basis, your body adjusts to the new balance in your system. As your tolerance for the substance increases, you must take larger amounts if you want to feel any effects from the substance. When a user abruptly stops using that medication, his or her body reacts to this new balance.

Doctors often use this medication when treating patients addicted to opioids. When taken as directed, ReVia reduces the number of cravings that you may have for the opioid.

Dependency

“Doctors often use this medication when treating patients addicted to opioids.”
As a user weans himself or herself off a specific drug, he or she might find herself addicted to ReVia. This problem occurs because the addict becomes addicted to the new substance. For example, the user might feel that he or she cannot stop taking the medication because the cravings will return. The addict might also continue the medication because the user thinks that he or she needs the medication to get through the day.
