Naltrexone is a prescription medicine used in the treatment of opiate and prescription opioid abuse and addiction because it stops the activity of opiates. It is also used in the treatment of alcohol dependence as it appears to decrease the addict's desire to drink. Naltrexone can either be administered daily by tablet, or in injection form that can be given once per month, however the injection can cost around $1,100 a month.
The difference between Naltrexone and other medications used to treat opiate dependence is that not like Methadone which is an agonist and is not unlike heroin, Naltrexone is an opiate antagonist, and negates the effects 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 stop taking all other opioid drugs while taking the medication. This would include taking Methadone or similar maintenance therapy meds, due to the fact that taking Naltrexone along with these types of medications can cause sudden withdrawal symptoms.
Naltrexone is meant to be used along with a full Batavia rehab program which would include compliance monitoring, counseling, lifestyle changes, and behavior modification.
