Naltrexone is a 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 management of alcohol addiction as it apparently lessens the addict's need to consume alcohol. Naltrexone can either be administered daily by tablet, or there is an extended-release injection that can be given once a month, 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 negates the effect of opioid medications. Someone who has been off all opioid drugs for seven to ten days can begin taking Naltrexone, but they will have to remain off all other opioid medications while taking the drug. This would include taking Methadone or similar maintenance therapy medications, due to 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 full Las Vegas treatment program which would include counseling, behavioral modification, lifestyle changes, and compliance monitoring.
