Naltrexone is a 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 treatment of alcohol dependence because it apparently lessens the addict's need to consume alcohol. Naltrexone can either be administered daily by tablet, or there is an extended-release injection that can be given once per month, although the injection can cost around $1,100 per 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 negates 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 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 meds can cause sudden withdrawal reactions.
Naltrexone is meant to be used along with a full Boonton treatment program which would include compliance monitoring, counseling, lifestyle changes, and behavior modification.
