Naltrexone is a med used in the treatment of opiate and prescription opioid addiction because it stops the activity of opioids. It is also used in the management of alcohol addiction as it apparently lessens the user's desire to drink. Naltrexone can either be administered daily by tablet, or there is an extended-release injection that can be given once per month, however the injection can cost around $1,100 per month.
The difference between Naltrexone and other meds 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 blocks the effect of opioid meds. Someone who has been off all opioid medications for seven to ten days can begin taking Naltrexone, but they will have to stop taking all other opioid drugs while taking the medication. This would include taking Methadone or similar maintenance therapy medications, due to the fact that being treated with Naltrexone along with these types of drugs can cause sudden withdrawal reactions.
Naltrexone is meant to be used in conjunction with a comprehensive Elizabethport treatment program which would include compliance monitoring, counseling, lifestyle changes, and behavior modification.
