Naltrexone is a med 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 treatment of alcohol addiction as it apparently lessens the addict's need to consume alcohol. Naltrexone comes in tablet form, or there is an extended-release injection that can be given once per every four weeks, although the injection can cost up to $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 is not unlike heroin, Naltrexone is an opiate antagonist, and blocks the effects of opioid medications. An individual who has been abstaining from all opioid medications for 7-10 days can begin treatment with Naltrexone, but they will have to stop taking all other opioid medications while taking the drug. This would include taking Methadone or similar maintenance therapy medications, because of the fact that being treated with Naltrexone along with these types of drugs can cause sudden withdrawal symptoms.
Naltrexone is meant to be used in conjunction with a comprehensive Springboro rehab program which would include compliance monitoring, counseling, lifestyle changes, and behavior modification.
