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 because 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 administered once a month, however the injection can cost up to $1,100 per month.
The difference between Naltrexone and other drugs used to treat opiate addiction is that not like Methadone which is an agonist and is very similar to heroin, Naltrexone is an opiate antagonist, and negates the effect of opioid meds. Someone 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 drugs 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 meds can cause sudden withdrawal reactions.
Naltrexone is meant to be used in conjunction with a comprehensive Covina treatment program which would include compliance monitoring, counseling, lifestyle changes, and behavior modification.
