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 can either be administered daily by tablet, or in injection form that can be administered once a month, however the injection can cost around $1,100 a month.
The difference between Naltrexone and other drugs used to treat opiate dependence is that not like Methadone which is an agonist and is very similar to heroin, Naltrexone is an opiate antagonist, and blocks the effects of opioid meds. Someone who has been abstaining from all opioid meds for 7-10 days can begin taking Naltrexone, but they will have to stop taking all other opioid drugs while taking the drug. This would include taking Methadone or similar maintenance therapy meds, due to the fact that taking Naltrexone along with these kinds of medications can cause sudden withdrawal reactions.
Naltrexone is meant to be used in conjunction with a comprehensive Umatilla rehab program which would include compliance monitoring, counseling, lifestyle changes, and behavior modification.
