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 treatment of alcohol addiction as it appears to decrease the user's need to consume alcohol. Naltrexone comes in tablet form, or there is an extended-release injection that can be given once per month, although 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 has many of the same properties as heroin, Naltrexone is an opiate antagonist, and blocks the effect of opioid drugs. An individual 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 meds while taking the drug. This would include taking Methadone or similar maintenance therapy drugs, due to the fact that being treated with Naltrexone along with these kinds of drugs can cause sudden withdrawal reactions.
Naltrexone is meant to be used in conjunction with a full Destin rehab program which would include compliance monitoring, counseling, lifestyle changes, and behavior modification.
