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 user's need to consume alcohol. Naltrexone can either be administered daily by tablet, or there is an extended-release injection that can be given once an every four weeks, however the injection can cost around $1,100 per 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 negates the effects of opioid medications. An individual who has been off 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 medication. This would include taking Methadone or similar maintenance therapy drugs, because of the fact that taking Naltrexone along with these kinds of medications can cause sudden withdrawal symptoms.
Naltrexone is meant to be used in conjunction with a full Indianapolis rehab program which would include counseling, behavioral modification, lifestyle changes, and compliance monitoring.
