Naltrexone is a med 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 treatment of alcohol dependence as it apparently lessens the addict's need to drink. Naltrexone can either be administered daily by tablet, or in injection form that can be administered once an every four weeks, however the injection can cost up to $1,100 a month.
The difference between Naltrexone and other medications used to treat opiate dependence is that unlike Methadone which is an agonist and has many of the same properties as heroin, Naltrexone is an opiate antagonist, and blocks the effect of opioid medications. Someone who has been off all opioid drugs for seven to ten days can begin treatment with 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 drugs, because of the fact that being treated with Naltrexone along with these kinds of meds can cause sudden withdrawal symptoms.
Naltrexone is meant to be used in conjunction with a full Kenosha rehab program which would include counseling, behavioral modification, lifestyle changes, and compliance monitoring.
