Naltrexone is a prescription med used in the treatment of opiate and prescription opioid abuse and addiction because it stops the activity of opiates. It is also used in the management of alcohol addiction as it appears to decrease the addict's desire to drink. Naltrexone comes in tablet form, or in injection form that can be administered once per month, however the injection can cost up to $1,100 a month.
The difference between Naltrexone and other drugs used to treat opiate addiction is that not like Methadone which is an agonist and has many of the same properties as heroin, Naltrexone is an opiate antagonist, and blocks the effects of opioid drugs. Someone who has been off all opioid drugs for seven to ten days can begin treatment with Naltrexone, but they will have to stop taking all other opioid meds while taking the drug. This would include taking Methadone or similar maintenance therapy medications, because of the fact that taking Naltrexone along with these types of meds can cause sudden withdrawal reactions.
Naltrexone is meant to be used along with a full Juneau treatment program which would include counseling, behavioral modification, lifestyle changes, and compliance monitoring.
