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 dependence because it apparently lessens the addict's need to consume alcohol. Naltrexone comes in tablet form, or in injection form that can be given once a month, however the injection can cost up to $1,100 per month.
The difference between Naltrexone and other medications used to treat opiate dependence is that unlike Methadone which is an agonist and is not unlike heroin, Naltrexone is an opiate antagonist, and blocks the effects of opioid drugs. Someone who has been abstaining from all opioid medications for seven to ten days can begin treatment with Naltrexone, but they will have to stop taking all other opioid meds 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 kinds of medications can cause sudden withdrawal symptoms.
Naltrexone is meant to be used along with a comprehensive Klamath Falls treatment program which would include compliance monitoring, counseling, lifestyle changes, and behavior modification.
