Naltrexone is a medicine used in the treatment of opiate and prescription opioid addiction because it stops the activity of opiates. It is also used in the management of alcohol addiction as it apparently lessens the addict's desire to drink. Naltrexone comes in tablet form, or there is an extended-release injection that can be administered once a month, although the injection can cost around $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 is not unlike heroin, Naltrexone is an opiate antagonist, and blocks the effect of opioid medications. Someone who has been off all opioid meds for 7-10 days can begin taking Naltrexone, but they will have to remain off all other opioid medications while taking the drug. This would include taking Methadone or similar maintenance therapy drugs, because of the fact that being treated with Naltrexone along with these types of medications can cause sudden withdrawal reactions.
Naltrexone is meant to be used along with a comprehensive Henryetta treatment program which would include compliance monitoring, counseling, lifestyle changes, and behavior modification.
