Naltrexone is a medicine 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 appears to decrease the addict's desire to drink. Naltrexone comes in tablet form, or there is an extended-release injection that can be given once an every four weeks, although the injection can cost around $1,100 per month.
The difference between Naltrexone and other meds 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 effect of opioid medications. An individual who has been off all opioid medications for 7-10 days can begin treatment with Naltrexone, but they will have to stop taking all other opioid drugs while taking the medication. This would include taking Methadone or similar maintenance therapy medications, because of the fact that taking Naltrexone along with these kinds of medications can cause sudden withdrawal symptoms.
Naltrexone is meant to be used along with a comprehensive Roswell rehab program which would include counseling, behavioral modification, lifestyle changes, and compliance monitoring.
