Naltrexone is a prescription med used in the treatment of opiate and prescription opioid abuse and addiction because it stops the activity of opioids. It is also used in the management of alcohol addiction because it appears to decrease the addict's need to consume alcohol. Naltrexone can either be administered daily by tablet, or there is an extended-release injection that can be administered once an every four weeks, although the injection can cost up to $1,100 per month.
The difference between Naltrexone and other drugs 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 negates the effect of opioid meds. Someone who has been abstaining from all opioid medications for seven to ten days can begin taking 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 drugs, due to 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 North Conway rehab program which would include compliance monitoring, counseling, lifestyle changes, and behavior modification.
