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 management of alcohol dependence because it appears to decrease the addict's desire 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 drugs used to treat opiate dependence is that unlike Methadone which is an agonist and is not unlike heroin, Naltrexone is an opiate antagonist, and negates the effect of opioid meds. Someone 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 medication. This would include taking Methadone or similar maintenance therapy medications, because of the fact that taking Naltrexone along with these types of drugs can cause sudden withdrawal reactions.
Naltrexone is meant to be used along with a comprehensive Newburgh rehab program which would include counseling, behavioral modification, lifestyle changes, and compliance monitoring.
