Naltrexone is a prescription medicine 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 apparently lessens the user's desire to drink. Naltrexone comes in tablet form, or there is an extended-release injection that can be administered once an every four weeks, however the injection can cost around $1,100 a month.
The difference between Naltrexone and other drugs used to treat opiate dependence is that not like Methadone which is an agonist and has many of the same properties as heroin, Naltrexone is an opiate antagonist, and blocks the effects of opioid medications. Someone who has been off 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 medication. This would include taking Methadone or similar maintenance therapy drugs, because of the fact that being treated with Naltrexone along with these kinds of medications can cause sudden withdrawal reactions.
Naltrexone is meant to be used along with a comprehensive Jackson treatment program which would include compliance monitoring, counseling, lifestyle changes, and behavior modification.
