Naltrexone is a medication 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 drink. Naltrexone can either be administered daily by tablet, or in injection form that can be given once a month, however the injection can cost around $1,100 a month.
The difference between Naltrexone and other meds used to treat opiate dependence is that unlike 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 seven to ten days can begin treatment with Naltrexone, but they will have to remain off all other opioid meds while taking the drug. This would include taking Methadone or similar maintenance therapy meds, because of the fact that taking Naltrexone along with these types of medications can cause sudden withdrawal reactions.
Naltrexone is meant to be used in conjunction with a comprehensive Grayson rehab program which would include counseling, behavioral modification, lifestyle changes, and compliance monitoring.
