Naltrexone

Opioid antagonist used for alcohol use disorder and opioid relapse prevention

Naltrexone is taken to support recovery from alcohol use disorder and to prevent opioid relapse. It is not a controlled substance. A separate low-dose use (LDN) is sometimes prescribed for chronic pain conditions — see /conditions/ldn.
