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 management of alcohol dependence because it apparently lessens the user's desire to consume alcohol. Naltrexone comes in tablet form, or in injection form that can be administered once an every four weeks, however the injection can cost around $1,100 a month.
The difference between Naltrexone and other medications used to treat opiate addiction is that not like Methadone which is an agonist and is very similar to heroin, Naltrexone is an opiate antagonist, and blocks the effects of opioid medications. Someone who has been off all opioid drugs for 7-10 days can begin taking Naltrexone, but they will have to remain off all other opioid meds while taking the medication. This would include taking Methadone or similar maintenance therapy drugs, due to the fact that being treated with Naltrexone along with these types of medications can cause sudden withdrawal symptoms.
Naltrexone is meant to be used along with a comprehensive Herriman treatment program which would include compliance monitoring, counseling, lifestyle changes, and behavior modification.
