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 management of alcohol dependence because it appears to decrease the addict's desire to consume alcohol. Naltrexone comes in tablet form, or in injection form that can be administered once an every four weeks, although the injection can cost up to $1,100 a month.
The difference between Naltrexone and other meds 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 blocks the effects of opioid medications. An individual who has been abstaining from all opioid meds for 7-10 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 taking Naltrexone along with these kinds of drugs can cause sudden withdrawal reactions.
Naltrexone is meant to be used in conjunction with a comprehensive Grove City rehab program which would include compliance monitoring, counseling, lifestyle changes, and behavior modification.
