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 dependence as it apparently lessens the user's desire to consume alcohol. Naltrexone can either be administered daily by tablet, or in injection form that can be administered once a month, although the injection can cost around $1,100 a month.
The difference between Naltrexone and other drugs used to treat opiate dependence is that not like Methadone which is an agonist and is not unlike heroin, Naltrexone is an opiate antagonist, and negates the effects of opioid drugs. An individual who has been off all opioid meds for seven to ten days can begin treatment with 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 meds can cause sudden withdrawal reactions.
Naltrexone is meant to be used in conjunction with a full Beryl treatment program which would include counseling, behavioral modification, lifestyle changes, and compliance monitoring.
