Naltrexone is a prescription 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 management of alcohol addiction as it apparently lessens the user's need to drink. Naltrexone comes in tablet form, or in injection form that can be given once per month, however the injection can cost around $1,100 per month.
The difference between Naltrexone and other meds used to treat opiate addiction is that not like Methadone which is an agonist and has many of the same properties as heroin, Naltrexone is an opiate antagonist, and negates the effect of opioid medications. An individual who has been off all opioid drugs for 7-10 days can begin taking Naltrexone, but they will have to stop taking all other opioid drugs while taking the drug. This would include taking Methadone or similar maintenance therapy medications, due to the fact that being treated with Naltrexone along with these types of drugs can cause sudden withdrawal symptoms.
Naltrexone is meant to be used in conjunction with a full Tomah treatment program which would include counseling, behavioral modification, lifestyle changes, and compliance monitoring.
