Depending on your location, there may be additional costs for flights, taxis, and accommodation. These are not included in the implant price.
However, follow-up medications related to the implant are included in the implant cost.

- - organisational assistance (help with searching flight and hotel options)
- - drug testing if required
- - a consultation with an Addiction Psychiatrist
- - Implant placement under local anaesthetic by a trained and licensed surgeon, assisted by a registered medical nurse

How long does a Naltrexone implant last?
The duration depends on the implant type: 3-month, 6-month, and 12-month blockers are available.
Is a Naltrexone implant worth the investment?
For many patients, the implant significantly reduces cravings and relapse risk, making it a long-term investment in recovery. The value depends on individual treatment goals and suitability.
Example:
If a heroin user in the UK consumes around 2 g per day, and the average price per gram is approximately £80, their monthly spending reaches about £4,800.
By comparison, a 12-month Naltrexone implant costs £2,200. Travel expenses—including return flights, one night in a hotel, and taxi transfers—can be as low as £200, depending on booking dates.
In other words, the total cost of treatment, travel included, is less than half of what the same person may spend on heroin in a single month.
