Naltrexone is a prescription medicine used in the treatment of opiate and prescription opioid abuse and addiction because it stops the activity of opioids. It is also used in the treatment of alcohol dependence as it apparently lessens the user's desire to consume alcohol. Naltrexone comes in tablet form, or in injection form that can be administered once per every four weeks, although the injection can cost around $1,100 a month.
The difference between Naltrexone and other meds used to treat opiate addiction is that not like Methadone which is an agonist and is very similar to heroin, Naltrexone is an opiate antagonist, and negates the effect of opioid meds. An individual who has been off all opioid drugs for 7-10 days can begin treatment with Naltrexone, but they will have to remain off all other opioid medications while taking the medication. This would include taking Methadone or similar maintenance therapy drugs, due to the fact that being treated with Naltrexone along with these types of drugs can cause sudden withdrawal symptoms.
Naltrexone is meant to be used along with a comprehensive Byromville rehab program which would include counseling, behavioral modification, lifestyle changes, and compliance monitoring.
