Naltrexone is a 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 treatment of alcohol addiction as it appears to decrease the addict's desire to consume alcohol. Naltrexone comes in tablet form, or there is an extended-release injection that can be given once per month, however the injection can cost around $1,100 a month.
The difference between Naltrexone and other medications 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 meds. An individual who has been off all opioid medications for seven to ten days can begin treatment with Naltrexone, but they will have to stop taking all other opioid meds while taking the medication. This would include taking Methadone or similar maintenance therapy meds, because of the fact that taking Naltrexone along with these kinds of meds can cause sudden withdrawal symptoms.
Naltrexone is meant to be used in conjunction with a comprehensive Moosup treatment program which would include compliance monitoring, counseling, lifestyle changes, and behavior modification.
