Naltrexone is a medication used in the treatment of opiate and prescription opioid addiction because it stops the activity of opioids. It is also used in the management of alcohol addiction as it appears to decrease the addict's desire to drink. Naltrexone comes in tablet form, or in injection form that can be given once an every four weeks, however the injection can cost around $1,100 a month.
The difference between Naltrexone and other medications used to treat opiate dependence is that unlike 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. Someone who has been abstaining from all opioid meds 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 drugs, due to the fact that taking Naltrexone along with these kinds of meds can cause sudden withdrawal symptoms.
Naltrexone is meant to be used along with a full Jamaica rehab program which would include compliance monitoring, counseling, lifestyle changes, and behavior modification.
