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