Naltrexone is a prescription medication used in the treatment of opiate and prescription opioid addiction because it stops the activity of opiates. It is also used in the treatment of alcohol addiction as it apparently lessens the addict's desire to drink. Naltrexone can either be administered daily by tablet, or there is an extended-release injection that can be given once per every four weeks, although the injection can cost around $1,100 per month.
The difference between Naltrexone and other meds used to treat opiate dependence is that unlike Methadone which is an agonist and is not unlike heroin, Naltrexone is an opiate antagonist, and blocks the effects of opioid drugs. An individual who has been off all opioid drugs for 7-10 days can begin treatment with Naltrexone, but they will have to stop taking all other opioid medications 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 in conjunction with a comprehensive Las Animas rehab program which would include compliance monitoring, counseling, lifestyle changes, and behavior modification.
