Naltrexone is a medicine 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 dependence as it appears to decrease the user's need to drink. Naltrexone comes in tablet form, or there is an extended-release injection that can be administered once an every four weeks, however the injection can cost up to $1,100 a month.
The difference between Naltrexone and other meds used to treat opiate addiction is that not like Methadone which is an agonist and has many of the same properties as heroin, Naltrexone is an opiate antagonist, and negates the effect of opioid medications. Someone who has been abstaining from all opioid drugs 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 drugs, due to the fact that being treated with Naltrexone along with these kinds of medications can cause sudden withdrawal reactions.
Naltrexone is meant to be used in conjunction with a comprehensive Rangely rehab program which would include compliance monitoring, counseling, lifestyle changes, and behavior modification.
