Naltrexone is a prescription med used in the treatment of opiate and prescription opioid addiction because it stops the activity of opioids. It is also used in the management of alcohol dependence because it apparently lessens the addict's desire to consume alcohol. Naltrexone comes in tablet form, 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 meds used to treat opiate addiction is that not like Methadone which is an agonist and is not unlike heroin, Naltrexone is an opiate antagonist, and negates the effect of opioid meds. Someone 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 medication. This would include taking Methadone or similar maintenance therapy medications, because of the fact that being treated with Naltrexone along with these types of meds can cause sudden withdrawal symptoms.
Naltrexone is meant to be used along with a comprehensive Capistrano Beach rehab program which would include counseling, behavioral modification, lifestyle changes, and compliance monitoring.
