Naltrexone is a prescription medicine used in the treatment of opiate and prescription opioid addiction because it stops the activity of opiates. It is also used in the treatment of alcohol addiction as it apparently lessens the addict's need to drink. Naltrexone can either be administered daily by tablet, or in injection form that can be given once a month, however the injection can cost up to $1,100 per month.
The difference between Naltrexone and other meds used to treat opiate addiction 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 medications. Someone who has been abstaining from all opioid medications for 7-10 days can begin treatment with 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, because of the fact that taking Naltrexone along with these types of drugs can cause sudden withdrawal symptoms.
Naltrexone is meant to be used along with a comprehensive Wabash rehab program which would include counseling, behavioral modification, lifestyle changes, and compliance monitoring.
