Suggest Remedy For Severe Gambling Addiction

hello...i have a severe gambling addiction that I would like to quit with some assistance from naltrexone. I've done lots of research on it and am wanting to look into getting a prescription.

I have also used vicodin daily for about 4 years about 20-30 mg daily. I have not had any vicodin for 5 days but see that naltrexone can assist in keeping me off the pills too. please help
