Naltrexone is a medication 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 user's need to consume alcohol. Naltrexone can either be administered daily by tablet, or in injection form that can be administered once an every four weeks, although the injection can cost around $1,100 a month.
The difference between Naltrexone and other meds used to treat opiate dependence is that unlike Methadone which is an agonist and has many of the same properties as heroin, Naltrexone is an opiate antagonist, and negates the effects of opioid meds. An individual who has been abstaining from all opioid medications for 7-10 days can begin treatment with Naltrexone, but they will have to remain off all other opioid meds while taking the drug. This would include taking Methadone or similar maintenance therapy meds, because of the fact that taking Naltrexone along with these kinds of drugs can cause sudden withdrawal symptoms.
Naltrexone is meant to be used in conjunction with a comprehensive Mcminnville rehab program which would include compliance monitoring, counseling, lifestyle changes, and behavior modification.
