Naltrexone is a medicine 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 management of alcohol addiction as it appears to decrease the addict's need to consume alcohol. Naltrexone comes in tablet form, or there is an extended-release injection that can be administered once a month, 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 negates the effect of opioid meds. Someone who has been off all opioid medications for 7-10 days can begin treatment with Naltrexone, but they will have to remain off all other opioid meds while taking the drug. This would include taking Methadone or similar maintenance therapy meds, due to the fact that being treated with Naltrexone along with these types of medications can cause sudden withdrawal symptoms.
Naltrexone is meant to be used along with a comprehensive Miles City rehab program which would include counseling, behavioral modification, lifestyle changes, and compliance monitoring.
