At least it seems that she will be able to prescribe it if she agrees to that.
So that is good.
I thought that maybe I would have to go to a drug and alcohol specialist.
I have already set up an inquiry/meeting with a company here in town called townsend. they have support groups.
I am not interested in AA.

I registered with an on line group called hams...harm reduction.
I posted a question for them about naltrexone. So will see if any of them have had experience taking this medication.
Hey mate, how are you? I had a minor habit(only in comparison to allot of the people I had to interact with on a daily basis, at the end of the day a $50 -$100 drug problem problem is the same as a $500 a day habit it destroys family bonds and trust, same with partners and friends) after many detox in private hospitals and using oral naltrexone I finally got cleanfrom heroin with an eight month implant(approx, size of patient, so 6-8 month implant etc) then I thought great I can go back to how I was before drugs and go to live music and have a big night here and there, I had a drink on the Friday after implant and by the Monday was drinking by lunch time and have battled it ever since. With the implant I drank no problems, I've tried the trex,campral and I just drank on them. It's got to the point where I have to take antabuse and for the first time I have more than a week, it's actually very close to 3 months. I hope I have posted this in the correct place on the thread. I'm very new to this site as I have post concussion syndrome(from a car accident and it's scaring me but I digress. I unfortunately(but wouldn't be the person I am today) have allot of what I'd maybe call real life experience due to my own and other people that I've become close to, they aren't from AA (a few are but I have never found AA a thing for me as I get anxiety, which I'm working really hard on), the friends I'm talking about are more from the different private rehabs I've done in the last ten years(close to 30) and had a drink in my hand after doing detox within the week of a discharge. So if you have any real life people and not doctors questions don't hesitate to ask, I'm NOT a professional. I can only give you answers from personal point of view and observations and chats with good friends who are also in recovery, some more so than others. I'm going to have a better look at this doctors findings as I know lots of people who have also been on the trex(naltrexone, I'm sure you didn't need to be told that). But good luck and I'll follow your findings if you do it. Don't hesitate to ask a question if it's something that may help. Take care and I hope it works for you.
