Naltrexone is a prescription 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 treatment of alcohol dependence as it appears to decrease the user's need to drink. Naltrexone comes in tablet form, or in injection form that can be given once per month, however the injection can cost around $1,100 per month.
The difference between Naltrexone and other drugs used to treat opiate dependence is that unlike Methadone which is an agonist and is not unlike heroin, Naltrexone is an opiate antagonist, and negates the effects of opioid meds. 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 medication. This would include taking Methadone or similar maintenance therapy drugs, because of the fact that taking Naltrexone along with these kinds of drugs can cause sudden withdrawal symptoms.
Naltrexone is meant to be used along with a comprehensive Meridian rehab program which would include counseling, behavioral modification, lifestyle changes, and compliance monitoring.
