Naltrexone is a prescription medicine used in the treatment of opiate and prescription opioid addiction because it stops the activity of opiates. It is also used in the treatment of alcohol dependence because it appears to decrease the user's desire to drink. Naltrexone can either be administered daily by tablet, 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 meds used to treat opiate dependence is that not like Methadone which is an agonist and has many of the same properties as heroin, Naltrexone is an opiate antagonist, and blocks the effects of opioid meds. An individual who has been off all opioid medications for 7-10 days can begin treatment with Naltrexone, but they will have to remain off all other opioid meds while taking the drug. This would include taking Methadone or similar maintenance therapy medications, due to the fact that taking Naltrexone along with these kinds of medications can cause sudden withdrawal reactions.
Naltrexone is meant to be used along with a full Clear rehab program which would include counseling, behavioral modification, lifestyle changes, and compliance monitoring.
