Naltrexone is a prescription medicine used in the treatment of opiate and prescription opioid 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 consume alcohol. Naltrexone can either be administered daily by tablet, or in injection form that can be given once an every four weeks, although the injection can cost up to $1,100 per month.
The difference between Naltrexone and other drugs 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 blocks the effects 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 medications, due to the fact that taking Naltrexone along with these types of meds can cause sudden withdrawal reactions.
Naltrexone is meant to be used along with a comprehensive Hamtramck rehab program which would include counseling, behavioral modification, lifestyle changes, and compliance monitoring.
