Naltrexone is a prescription medication 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 because it appears to decrease the addict's need to consume alcohol. Naltrexone comes in tablet form, or in injection form that can be administered once per every four weeks, however the injection can cost up to $1,100 per month.
The difference between Naltrexone and other drugs 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 blocks the effects of opioid meds. An individual who has been off all opioid meds for seven to ten days can begin treatment with Naltrexone, but they will have to remain off all other opioid medications while taking the medication. This would include taking Methadone or similar maintenance therapy meds, because of the fact that being treated with Naltrexone along with these types of drugs can cause sudden withdrawal reactions.
Naltrexone is meant to be used in conjunction with a comprehensive Camp Lake rehab program which would include compliance monitoring, counseling, lifestyle changes, and behavior modification.
