Naltrexone is a medication used in the treatment of opiate and prescription opioid addiction because it stops the activity of opioids. It is also used in the treatment of alcohol addiction as it apparently lessens the addict's desire to drink. Naltrexone comes in tablet form, 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 drugs used to treat opiate dependence is that not like Methadone which is an agonist and is not unlike heroin, Naltrexone is an opiate antagonist, and blocks the effects of opioid drugs. Someone who has been abstaining from all opioid drugs for 7-10 days can begin taking 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 medications, due to the fact that taking Naltrexone along with these types of drugs can cause sudden withdrawal symptoms.
Naltrexone is meant to be used in conjunction with a full Branson treatment program which would include compliance monitoring, counseling, lifestyle changes, and behavior modification.
