The intoxication from drinking having taken naltrexone is profoundly different than just drinking alcohol alone but it does satisfy the urge to drink, until one day you're able to just walk away from drinking. I never really felt the urge to drink without it while I was using naltrexone. I still have an unfinished box of naltrexone which I kept because I was sure I would start drinking again and wanted to have it at hand. I just looked at it, it expired in 2013 and I've yet to use it at all since I quit drinking in '09 or '10 (I forget exactly, it's been a while).
