Naltrexone is a prescription 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 addict's desire to drink. Naltrexone can either be administered daily by tablet, or there is an extended-release injection that can be administered once an every four weeks, although the injection can cost around $1,100 a month.
The difference between Naltrexone and other meds used to treat opiate addiction is that unlike Methadone which is an agonist and is not unlike heroin, Naltrexone is an opiate antagonist, and negates the effect of opioid meds. Someone who has been abstaining from all opioid meds for 7-10 days can begin taking 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 drugs, because of the fact that being treated with Naltrexone along with these kinds of drugs can cause sudden withdrawal reactions.
Naltrexone is meant to be used in conjunction with a comprehensive Sanborn rehab program which would include counseling, behavioral modification, lifestyle changes, and compliance monitoring.
