Physician Reviews
What our members are saying
"Wow Naltrexone and Monument have cured my 7-year battle to end my daily 5:00pm bottle-of-wine habit. I’ve tried everything. Just a miracle. I want to cry tears of joy! So thankful for you Monument!"
"I enrolled so I could get a naltrexone prescription, but talking to [my doctor] made it so much more than that...He explained exactly why this medication helps, and how long it could take. He gave me hope and in that short call I felt completely different about myself. No more self hate. I'm getting my life back!"
"After one month of treatment it has been nothing short of “Game Changing”. From the first pill, literally my interest [in alcohol] dropped to almost nothing. I’m sleeping better, my brain is clear, I’m losing weight, I’m going to exercise instead of happy hour. Just life changing in the most profound ways."
