Naltrexone is a prescription med 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 addiction because it appears to decrease the user's need to consume alcohol. Naltrexone comes in tablet form, or in injection form that can be administered once per every four weeks, although the injection can cost around $1,100 a month.
The difference between Naltrexone and other drugs used to treat opiate addiction is that not like Methadone which is an agonist and is very similar to heroin, Naltrexone is an opiate antagonist, and negates the effect of opioid medications. An individual who has been abstaining from all opioid medications for 7-10 days can begin taking Naltrexone, but they will have to remain off all other opioid drugs while taking the drug. This would include taking Methadone or similar maintenance therapy meds, due to the fact that being treated with Naltrexone along with these kinds of drugs can cause sudden withdrawal reactions.
Naltrexone is meant to be used along with a full Kempton treatment program which would include counseling, behavioral modification, lifestyle changes, and compliance monitoring.
