Naltrexone is a prescription 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 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 per month.
The difference between Naltrexone and other medications 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 blocks the effect of opioid meds. An individual who has been off all opioid meds for seven to ten 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 medications, because of the fact that taking Naltrexone along with these types of medications can cause sudden withdrawal symptoms.
Naltrexone is meant to be used in conjunction with a full Kennett Square rehab program which would include compliance monitoring, counseling, lifestyle changes, and behavior modification.
