Naltrexone is a medicine used in the treatment of opiate and prescription opioid addiction because it stops the activity of opiates. It is also used in the treatment of alcohol addiction as it appears to decrease the user's need to drink. Naltrexone comes in tablet form, or there is an extended-release injection that can be given once per month, however the injection can cost up to $1,100 per month.
The difference between Naltrexone and other drugs used to treat opiate addiction is that not like Methadone which is an agonist and has many of the same properties as heroin, Naltrexone is an opiate antagonist, and blocks the effects of opioid meds. An individual who has been abstaining from all opioid medications for 7-10 days can begin treatment with Naltrexone, but they will have to remain off all other opioid medications while taking the medication. This would include taking Methadone or similar maintenance therapy meds, due to the fact that being treated with Naltrexone along with these kinds of meds can cause sudden withdrawal symptoms.
Naltrexone is meant to be used along with a full Levittown rehab program which would include compliance monitoring, counseling, lifestyle changes, and behavior modification.
