Naltrexone is a prescription med used in the treatment of opiate and prescription opioid abuse and addiction because it stops the activity of opioids. It is also used in the treatment of alcohol dependence as it apparently lessens the user's need to drink. Naltrexone can either be administered daily by tablet, or in injection form that can be administered once per every four weeks, however the injection can cost around $1,100 a month.
The difference between Naltrexone and other drugs used to treat opiate dependence is that not like 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 drugs. An individual who has been off all opioid meds for 7-10 days can begin treatment with Naltrexone, but they will have to remain off all other opioid medications while taking the medication. 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 reactions.
Naltrexone is meant to be used along with a comprehensive Potosi treatment program which would include counseling, behavioral modification, lifestyle changes, and compliance monitoring.
