Naltrexone is a 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 addiction because it apparently lessens the addict's desire to drink. Naltrexone comes in tablet form, or there is an extended-release injection that can be administered once per month, however the injection can cost up to $1,100 per 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 blocks the effects of opioid drugs. An individual who has been abstaining from all opioid drugs for seven to ten days can begin treatment with 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 taking Naltrexone along with these types of meds can cause sudden withdrawal symptoms.
Naltrexone is meant to be used in conjunction with a comprehensive Eglin AFB treatment program which would include compliance monitoring, counseling, lifestyle changes, and behavior modification.
