Naltrexone is a med used in the treatment of opiate and prescription opioid addiction because it stops the activity of opiates. It is also used in the management of alcohol addiction as it apparently lessens the addict's desire to drink. Naltrexone can either be administered daily by tablet, or there is an extended-release injection that can be administered once an every four weeks, however the injection can cost up to $1,100 a month.
The difference between Naltrexone and other medications used to treat opiate dependence is that not like Methadone which is an agonist and has many of the same properties as heroin, Naltrexone is an opiate antagonist, and negates the effects of opioid drugs. Someone who has been abstaining from all opioid medications for 7-10 days can begin treatment with Naltrexone, but they will have to stop taking all other opioid drugs while taking the medication. This would include taking Methadone or similar maintenance therapy meds, because of the fact that taking Naltrexone along with these types of drugs can cause sudden withdrawal reactions.
Naltrexone is meant to be used in conjunction with a full Falmouth rehab program which would include compliance monitoring, counseling, lifestyle changes, and behavior modification.
