Naltrexone is a medicine used in the treatment of opiate and prescription opioid abuse and addiction because it stops the activity of opiates. It is also used in the management of alcohol addiction as it apparently lessens the addict's desire to drink. Naltrexone can either be administered daily by tablet, or there is an extended-release injection that can be given once a month, however the injection can cost around $1,100 per month.
The difference between Naltrexone and other medications used to treat opiate addiction 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 effects of opioid meds. An individual who has been off 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 meds, due to the fact that taking Naltrexone along with these kinds of meds can cause sudden withdrawal reactions.
Naltrexone is meant to be used in conjunction with a full Milladore rehab program which would include counseling, behavioral modification, lifestyle changes, and compliance monitoring.
