Naltrexone is a medication 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 treatment of alcohol dependence as it apparently lessens the user's need to drink. Naltrexone comes in tablet form, or in injection form that can be given once a month, although the injection can cost around $1,100 a month.
The difference between Naltrexone and other medications 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 effect of opioid medications. Someone who has been off all opioid medications for 7-10 days can begin taking Naltrexone, but they will have to remain off all other opioid meds while taking the drug. This would include taking Methadone or similar maintenance therapy meds, due to the fact that taking Naltrexone along with these types of meds can cause sudden withdrawal reactions.
Naltrexone is meant to be used along with a full Aneth rehab program which would include compliance monitoring, counseling, lifestyle changes, and behavior modification.
