Naltrexone is a medicine 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 management of alcohol addiction because it apparently lessens the user's desire 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 meds used to treat opiate addiction is that not like Methadone which is an agonist and is not unlike heroin, Naltrexone is an opiate antagonist, and negates the effect of opioid medications. Someone who has been off all opioid drugs for seven to ten days can begin taking Naltrexone, but they will have to remain off all other opioid medications while taking the drug. This would include taking Methadone or similar maintenance therapy meds, because of the fact that being treated with Naltrexone along with these types of medications can cause sudden withdrawal symptoms.
Naltrexone is meant to be used along with a full El Paso rehab program which would include counseling, behavioral modification, lifestyle changes, and compliance monitoring.
