Naltrexone is a med 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 dependence because it apparently lessens the addict's desire to drink. Naltrexone can either be administered daily by tablet, or in injection form that can be given once a month, however the injection can cost up to $1,100 a month.
The difference between Naltrexone and other medications used to treat opiate addiction is that unlike Methadone which is an agonist and is not unlike heroin, Naltrexone is an opiate antagonist, and negates the effect of opioid drugs. Someone who has been abstaining from all opioid drugs for 7-10 days can begin treatment with Naltrexone, but they will have to stop taking all other opioid meds while taking the medication. This would include taking Methadone or similar maintenance therapy medications, due to the fact that taking Naltrexone along with these kinds of drugs can cause sudden withdrawal symptoms.
Naltrexone is meant to be used along with a full Tuskegee treatment program which would include compliance monitoring, counseling, lifestyle changes, and behavior modification.
