Naltrexone is a prescription med used in the treatment of opiate and prescription opioid addiction because it stops the activity of opiates. It is also used in the treatment of alcohol dependence because it apparently lessens the user's desire to consume alcohol. Naltrexone can either be administered daily by tablet, or there is an extended-release injection that can be administered once a month, although 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 very similar to heroin, Naltrexone is an opiate antagonist, and negates the effects of opioid meds. An individual who has been abstaining from all opioid meds for seven to ten days can begin taking Naltrexone, but they will have to remain off all other opioid meds while taking the drug. This would include taking Methadone or similar maintenance therapy drugs, because of the fact that being treated with Naltrexone along with these kinds of meds can cause sudden withdrawal reactions.
Naltrexone is meant to be used in conjunction with a comprehensive Orangevale rehab program which would include counseling, behavioral modification, lifestyle changes, and compliance monitoring.
