Naltrexone is a prescription 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 treatment of alcohol dependence because it apparently lessens the user's desire to drink. Naltrexone can either be administered daily by tablet, or in injection form that can be administered once per month, however the injection can cost up to $1,100 per month.
The difference between Naltrexone and other medications used to treat opiate addiction is that not like Methadone which is an agonist and is not unlike heroin, Naltrexone is an opiate antagonist, and blocks the effect of opioid medications. Someone who has been abstaining from all opioid drugs for 7-10 days can begin treatment with Naltrexone, but they will have to stop taking all other opioid meds while taking the drug. This would include taking Methadone or similar maintenance therapy drugs, because of the fact that taking Naltrexone along with these types of meds can cause sudden withdrawal symptoms.
Naltrexone is meant to be used along with a full Pablo treatment program which would include compliance monitoring, counseling, lifestyle changes, and behavior modification.
