Naltrexone is a prescription 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 appears to decrease the addict's need to consume alcohol. Naltrexone comes in tablet form, or there is an extended-release injection that can be administered once per month, however the injection can cost around $1,100 a month.
The difference between Naltrexone and other meds used to treat opiate addiction 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 medications. Someone who has been off all opioid medications for 7-10 days can begin taking Naltrexone, but they will have to remain off all other opioid drugs while taking the drug. This would include taking Methadone or similar maintenance therapy medications, because of the fact that taking Naltrexone along with these types of medications can cause sudden withdrawal symptoms.
Naltrexone is meant to be used in conjunction with a full Greenville treatment program which would include counseling, behavioral modification, lifestyle changes, and compliance monitoring.
