Patients stabilized on naltrexone can hold jobs, avoid crime and
violence, and reduce their exposure to HIV.
Many experienced clinicians have found naltrexone most useful for
highly motivated, recently detoxified patients who desire total
abstinence because of external circumstances, including impaired
professionals, parolees, probationers, and prisoners in work-release
status. Patients stabilized on naltrexone can function normally. They
can hold jobs, avoid the crime and violence of the street culture, and
reduce their exposure to HIV by stopping injection drug use and
drug-related high-risk sexual behavior.
