Naltrexone is a 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 apparently lessens the user's desire to drink. Naltrexone can either be administered daily by tablet, or there is an extended-release injection that can be administered once a month, however the injection can cost around $1,100 a month.
The difference between Naltrexone and other drugs used to treat opiate addiction is that unlike Methadone which is an agonist and is not unlike heroin, Naltrexone is an opiate antagonist, and blocks the effects of opioid meds. Someone who has been abstaining from all opioid medications for seven to ten 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 medications, due to the fact that taking Naltrexone along with these types of drugs can cause sudden withdrawal reactions.
Naltrexone is meant to be used along with a full Circleville rehab program which would include counseling, behavioral modification, lifestyle changes, and compliance monitoring.
