Naltrexone is a medication used in the treatment of opiate and prescription opioid addiction because it stops the activity of opioids. It is also used in the treatment of alcohol dependence as it apparently lessens the user's need to drink. Naltrexone comes in tablet form, or there is an extended-release injection that can be given once per every four weeks, although the injection can cost up to $1,100 per month.
The difference between Naltrexone and other medications used to treat opiate dependence is that not like Methadone which is an agonist and is not unlike heroin, Naltrexone is an opiate antagonist, and blocks the effects of opioid medications. Someone who has been abstaining from all opioid meds for 7-10 days can begin taking 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 being treated with Naltrexone along with these types of medications can cause sudden withdrawal reactions.
Naltrexone is meant to be used along with a comprehensive Navarre treatment program which would include counseling, behavioral modification, lifestyle changes, and compliance monitoring.
