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 management of alcohol dependence as it apparently lessens the addict's need to consume alcohol. Naltrexone can either be administered daily by tablet, or in injection form that can be given once a month, although the injection can cost up to $1,100 per month.
The difference between Naltrexone and other drugs 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 blocks the effects of opioid meds. An individual who has been abstaining from all opioid drugs 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 meds, due to the fact that taking Naltrexone along with these kinds of meds can cause sudden withdrawal symptoms.
Naltrexone is meant to be used along with a full San Bernardino rehab program which would include counseling, behavioral modification, lifestyle changes, and compliance monitoring.
