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 management of alcohol dependence because it appears to decrease the user's need to drink. Naltrexone comes in tablet form, or there is an extended-release injection that can be administered once per every four weeks, although the injection can cost up to $1,100 per month.
The difference between Naltrexone and other medications used to treat opiate addiction is that unlike Methadone which is an agonist and is very similar to heroin, Naltrexone is an opiate antagonist, and negates the effects of opioid medications. An individual who has been abstaining from all opioid drugs for seven to ten days can begin taking Naltrexone, but they will have to stop taking all other opioid drugs while taking the drug. This would include taking Methadone or similar maintenance therapy medications, because of the fact that being treated with Naltrexone along with these kinds of medications can cause sudden withdrawal reactions.
Naltrexone is meant to be used along with a comprehensive Winder rehab program which would include counseling, behavioral modification, lifestyle changes, and compliance monitoring.
