What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're in a treatment program for alcohol or opioid dependence and need to confirm you're taking naltrexone as prescribed. It's also useful if you're supporting someone else's recovery and want an objective way to check medication compliance. The test measures naltrexone levels in urine to confirm recent use.

What happens after I get my results?

Your results will show up in your account with the naltrexone level and an explanation of what the range means. If the level is lower than expected, it may suggest missed doses, and a simple next step is to review dosing consistency and consider retesting on a regular schedule to track compliance over time. A standard lab report is available to download from your account, and you can use the trends feature to see how your levels change with each test.

Who should consider this test?

Anyone currently prescribed naltrexone for alcohol or opioid dependence who needs to verify they're taking it consistently should consider this test. It's also a good fit for treatment programs, sober living facilities, or family members who want an objective, private way to confirm compliance. This test gives a clear, measurable answer instead of relying on self-reporting.

How can I naturally support recovery while on naltrexone?

While naltrexone itself requires consistent dosing to work, you can support your recovery with steady sleep, regular meals, and staying hydrated to help your body process medication consistently. Reducing stress through light exercise, journaling, or support groups can also help you stick to your treatment routine. Avoiding alcohol and opioids entirely is essential since naltrexone blocks their effects but doesn't eliminate cravings on its own.

When will I get my results?

Results are typically ready within about 7 days of your sample being tested at the lab. You'll get a notification as soon as your report is available in your account. If you need results sooner for a specific program requirement, plan your test date accordingly.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

If you're supposed to be taking naltrexone but notice cravings returning, feeling the effects of alcohol or opioids again, or missing doses due to a busy schedule, this test can confirm whether the medication is actually in your system. It's also useful even without symptoms, simply as a routine check-in for treatment programs. Consistent use is key to naltrexone working properly, so any doubt about adherence is a good reason to test.

What does a low naltrexone level mean?

A low or undetectable level usually means the medication wasn't taken recently, was taken at a lower dose than expected, or was taken longer ago than the test window covers. This is worth addressing quickly, since gaps in naltrexone use can leave you vulnerable to alcohol or opioid effects and cravings. Reviewing your dosing schedule and setting reminders can help close these gaps going forward.

What causes low naltrexone levels?

The most common causes are missed or skipped doses, taking a smaller dose than prescribed, or testing too long after the last dose was taken. Individual differences in how quickly your body processes medication can also play a role. If low levels keep showing up, it may help to simplify your dosing routine or set a fixed time each day to take it.

How often should I retest?

Retesting frequency depends on your treatment program's requirements, but many people test every few weeks to a month to confirm ongoing compliance. If you've recently changed your dose or had a lapse in use, testing sooner can help you get back on track. Regular retesting also helps you build a clear compliance history over time using the trends feature.

What should I do if my results are unexpected?

If your naltrexone level is lower than expected, start by reviewing your dosing schedule and timing to see if doses were missed or delayed. Consider setting daily reminders or pairing your dose with an existing habit, like brushing your teeth, to improve consistency. If cravings or withdrawal-type symptoms show up, that's a sign to prioritize getting back on a steady dosing routine right away.
