Naltrexone is a prescription 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 management of alcohol addiction as it apparently lessens the user's desire to drink. Naltrexone can either be administered daily by tablet, or there is an extended-release injection that can be given once a month, however the injection can cost around $1,100 per month.
The difference between Naltrexone and other drugs used to treat opiate dependence is that unlike Methadone which is an agonist and is not unlike heroin, Naltrexone is an opiate antagonist, and negates the effect of opioid drugs. An individual who has been off all opioid meds for 7-10 days can begin taking 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 drugs, because of the fact that being treated with Naltrexone along with these types of meds can cause sudden withdrawal reactions.
Naltrexone is meant to be used in conjunction with a full Weber City treatment program which would include counseling, behavioral modification, lifestyle changes, and compliance monitoring.
