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 user's need to consume alcohol. Naltrexone comes in tablet form, or there is an extended-release injection that can be administered once per month, however the injection can cost up to $1,100 a month.
The difference between Naltrexone and other meds used to treat opiate dependence is that not like Methadone which is an agonist and is not unlike heroin, Naltrexone is an opiate antagonist, and blocks the effect of opioid medications. An individual who has been off all opioid meds for 7-10 days can begin treatment with 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 medications, due to the fact that taking Naltrexone along with these kinds of meds can cause sudden withdrawal reactions.
Naltrexone is meant to be used along with a comprehensive Warrior rehab program which would include counseling, behavioral modification, lifestyle changes, and compliance monitoring.
