Naltrexone is a prescription med used in the treatment of opiate and prescription opioid abuse and addiction because it stops the activity of opiates. It is also used in the treatment of alcohol addiction because it appears to decrease the user's desire to consume alcohol. Naltrexone can either be administered daily by tablet, or there is an extended-release injection that can be given once per every four weeks, however the injection can cost around $1,100 per month.
The difference between Naltrexone and other meds used to treat opiate dependence is that not like 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 off all opioid medications for seven to ten days can begin taking Naltrexone, but they will have to remain off all other opioid drugs while taking the medication. This would include taking Methadone or similar maintenance therapy medications, because of the fact that being treated with Naltrexone along with these types of meds can cause sudden withdrawal reactions.
Naltrexone is meant to be used in conjunction with a comprehensive Plymouth rehab program which would include counseling, behavioral modification, lifestyle changes, and compliance monitoring.
