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 dependence because it apparently lessens the user's need to drink. Naltrexone can either be administered daily by tablet, or in injection form that can be administered once a month, however the injection can cost up to $1,100 a month.
The difference between Naltrexone and other drugs used to treat opiate dependence is that unlike 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 medications. Someone who has been abstaining from all opioid drugs for 7-10 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 types of drugs can cause sudden withdrawal reactions.
Naltrexone is meant to be used along with a comprehensive Nunam Iqua rehab program which would include counseling, behavioral modification, lifestyle changes, and compliance monitoring.
