Naltrexone is a 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 apparently lessens the addict's need to drink. Naltrexone comes in tablet form, or there is an extended-release injection that can be given once per every four weeks, although the injection can cost up to $1,100 a month.
The difference between Naltrexone and other drugs used to treat opiate addiction 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 meds. An individual who has been off all opioid meds for 7-10 days can begin taking Naltrexone, but they will have to stop taking all other opioid drugs while taking the drug. This would include taking Methadone or similar maintenance therapy meds, due to the fact that taking Naltrexone along with these types of meds can cause sudden withdrawal reactions.
Naltrexone is meant to be used in conjunction with a full Rochester treatment program which would include compliance monitoring, counseling, lifestyle changes, and behavior modification.
