Naltrexone is a prescription med 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 because it apparently lessens the user's need to drink. Naltrexone comes in tablet form, or in injection form that can be given once per every four weeks, however the injection can cost around $1,100 a month.
The difference between Naltrexone and other drugs used to treat opiate addiction is that unlike Methadone which is an agonist and is not unlike heroin, Naltrexone is an opiate antagonist, and negates the effect of opioid drugs. An individual who has been off 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 medications, due to 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 Castle Rock treatment program which would include compliance monitoring, counseling, lifestyle changes, and behavior modification.
