Naltrexone blocks the parts of the brain that "feel pleasure” when patients use alcohol. When these areas of the brain are blocked, patients feel significantly less cravings for alcohol and even if alcohol is used, the effects of it will be extremely limited - making sobriety the only option. Once medical intervention has reduced the physical need for alcohol, the program goes on to address the patient's psychological needs. The combination of these treatments has resulted in the highest chance of sobriety.

While other companies use naltrexone in their treatments, the drug is typically administered in oral or injection form, requiring their patients to be responsible for taking the medication or scheduling an appointment.
While some patients do well with the oral formulation, there is a drawback that it must be taken daily and a patient whose craving becomes overwhelming can obtain the euphoria simply by skipping a dose before resuming abuse. Patients who received the program developed by BioCorRx are treated with a slow release dose that can last up to year in many patients (depending on various factors such as metabolism rates), which gives the patients a higher success rate for the treatment of alcoholism.
The outpatient naltrexone implant procedure can take as little as 20 minutes under local anesthetic in some cases. Most patients can return to work or their daily routine in the same day, without the cravings for alcohol.
