How Naltrexone Works
Blocks Specific Brain Receptors
When you engage with tech—getting likes, notifications, or bingeing content—your brain releases natural opioids (endorphins). Naltrexone blocks these receptors, preventing that natural "high" from occurring.
Disrupts Dopamine Release
By blocking those receptors, Naltrexone reduces dopamine release in the brain's reward center. This means those compulsive activities become less rewarding, making them easier to resist over time.
Weakens Reward Conditioning
Tech platforms are designed to trigger your brain's reward system through variable reward schedules (likes, comments, new content, etc.). Naltrexone diminishes the reinforcing power of these rewards by preventing the euphoric response, gradually weakening the compulsive urge to seek them out.
