Naltrexone is a med used in the treatment of opiate and prescription opioid addiction because it stops the activity of opioids. It is also used in the management of alcohol addiction because it apparently lessens the user's desire to consume alcohol. Naltrexone comes in tablet form, or in injection form that can be administered once a month, however the injection can cost up to $1,100 per month.
The difference between Naltrexone and other medications used to treat opiate dependence is that unlike Methadone which is an agonist and is very similar to heroin, Naltrexone is an opiate antagonist, and blocks the effect of opioid meds. Someone who has been off all opioid medications for 7-10 days can begin taking Naltrexone, but they will have to remain off all other opioid drugs 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 kinds of meds can cause sudden withdrawal reactions.
Naltrexone is meant to be used along with a comprehensive Tecumseh rehab program which would include compliance monitoring, counseling, lifestyle changes, and behavior modification.
