Naltrexone is a prescription medication 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 addiction as it apparently lessens the user's need to drink. Naltrexone comes in tablet form, or in injection form that can be administered once per every four weeks, although the injection can cost up to $1,100 per month.
The difference between Naltrexone and other drugs 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 negates the effects of opioid drugs. Someone who has been off all opioid medications for seven to ten days can begin taking Naltrexone, but they will have to stop taking all other opioid medications while taking the medication. This would include taking Methadone or similar maintenance therapy medications, due to the fact that being treated with Naltrexone along with these kinds of drugs can cause sudden withdrawal symptoms.
Naltrexone is meant to be used in conjunction with a full Greenfield rehab program which would include compliance monitoring, counseling, lifestyle changes, and behavior modification.
