Naltrexone is a prescription medication used in the treatment of opiate and prescription opioid abuse and addiction because it stops the activity of opiates. It is also used in the management of alcohol dependence because it apparently lessens the addict's desire to consume alcohol. Naltrexone comes in tablet form, or in injection form that can be given once per month, however the injection can cost around $1,100 a month.
The difference between Naltrexone and other drugs used to treat opiate addiction is that unlike 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 off all opioid drugs for 7-10 days can begin treatment with Naltrexone, but they will have to stop taking all other opioid drugs while taking the drug. This would include taking Methadone or similar maintenance therapy drugs, 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 Raymore treatment program which would include compliance monitoring, counseling, lifestyle changes, and behavior modification.
