Naltrexone is a medicine 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 as it apparently lessens the addict's desire to consume alcohol. Naltrexone comes in tablet form, or there is an extended-release injection that can be given once an every four weeks, although the injection can cost around $1,100 a month.
The difference between Naltrexone and other drugs used to treat opiate addiction is that not like Methadone which is an agonist and is not unlike heroin, Naltrexone is an opiate antagonist, and blocks the effect of opioid medications. Someone who has been off all opioid medications for seven to ten days can begin taking Naltrexone, but they will have to remain off all other opioid medications while taking the drug. This would include taking Methadone or similar maintenance therapy drugs, due to the fact that taking Naltrexone along with these types of drugs can cause sudden withdrawal reactions.
Naltrexone is meant to be used along with a full Wellington treatment program which would include compliance monitoring, counseling, lifestyle changes, and behavior modification.
