What is Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) Therapy?
Naltrexone is a drug that aids in recovery from addictions - specifically opioid and alcohol abuse. The dosage for this type of treatment is typically 50 mg per day over a period of twelve weeks. However, in lower doses, usually somewhere around 4.5 mg per day, naltrexone can also benefit a variety of other medical conditions.
How does LDN work?
To increase endorphin production, LDN binds to the endorphin receptors in your brain. This gives your body control over it’s immune system and can slow the production of unwanted cells. Because of LDN’s unique ability, this can alleviate a wide variety of medical conditions.
How long does it take to see the desired effects?
The response time of patients on LDN therapy varies by individual and type of medical condition. Most of our patients see significant improvement within the first two months. However, experts agree 8 months of therapy is required to see maximum benefit.
If you have a chronic pain condition, inflammation, an autoimmune disease, or any other medical condition, it may be worth your time to discuss whether low dose naltrexone could help ease your symptoms and increase your quality of life.
