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 treatment of alcohol dependence because it apparently lessens the user's desire to consume alcohol. Naltrexone can either be administered daily by tablet, or there is an extended-release injection that can be administered once a month, although the injection can cost around $1,100 per month.
The difference between Naltrexone and other medications 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 effect 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 remain off all other opioid medications while taking the drug. This would include taking Methadone or similar maintenance therapy drugs, due to the fact that taking Naltrexone along with these kinds of medications can cause sudden withdrawal symptoms.
Naltrexone is meant to be used in conjunction with a comprehensive Canton rehab program which would include compliance monitoring, counseling, lifestyle changes, and behavior modification.
