Naltrexone is a med 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 dependence as it apparently lessens the user's need to drink. Naltrexone comes in tablet form, or there is an extended-release injection that can be given once per every four weeks, however the injection can cost around $1,100 a month.
The difference between Naltrexone and other medications 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 effects of opioid meds. Someone who has been abstaining from all opioid meds for 7-10 days can begin treatment with Naltrexone, but they will have to stop taking all other opioid medications while taking the medication. 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 reactions.
Naltrexone is meant to be used along with a full Bloomington rehab program which would include compliance monitoring, counseling, lifestyle changes, and behavior modification.
