Naltrexone is a prescription medicine used in the treatment of opiate and prescription opioid addiction because it stops the activity of opiates. It is also used in the management of alcohol dependence as it appears to decrease the user's need to drink. Naltrexone can either be administered daily by tablet, or in injection form that can be administered once per every four weeks, although the injection can cost around $1,100 per month.
The difference between Naltrexone and other meds used to treat opiate dependence is that unlike Methadone which is an agonist and is very similar to heroin, Naltrexone is an opiate antagonist, and negates the effects of opioid medications. Someone who has been off all opioid meds for seven to ten days can begin taking 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 being treated with Naltrexone along with these kinds of drugs can cause sudden withdrawal symptoms.
Naltrexone is meant to be used in conjunction with a comprehensive Manila treatment program which would include compliance monitoring, counseling, lifestyle changes, and behavior modification.
