Naltrexone is a prescription medicine used in the treatment of opiate and prescription opioid addiction because it stops the activity of opioids. It is also used in the treatment of alcohol addiction as it apparently lessens the addict's desire to consume alcohol. Naltrexone can either be administered daily by tablet, or in injection form that can be given once per every four weeks, although the injection can cost around $1,100 a month.
The difference between Naltrexone and other meds used to treat opiate addiction is that unlike Methadone which is an agonist and is not unlike heroin, Naltrexone is an opiate antagonist, and blocks the effects of opioid drugs. An individual who has been abstaining from all opioid medications for seven to ten days can begin taking Naltrexone, but they will have to remain off all other opioid medications while taking the drug. This would include taking Methadone or similar maintenance therapy drugs, due to the fact that taking Naltrexone along with these types of drugs can cause sudden withdrawal symptoms.
Naltrexone is meant to be used along with a full Gandeeville rehab program which would include counseling, behavioral modification, lifestyle changes, and compliance monitoring.
