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 management of alcohol addiction as it apparently lessens the user's desire to drink. Naltrexone comes in tablet form, or there is an extended-release injection that can be given once per 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 not like Methadone which is an agonist and has many of the same properties as heroin, Naltrexone is an opiate antagonist, and blocks the effects of opioid medications. An individual who has been off all opioid meds for seven to ten days can begin treatment with Naltrexone, but they will have to stop taking all other opioid medications while taking the drug. This would include taking Methadone or similar maintenance therapy drugs, because of the fact that taking Naltrexone along with these kinds of drugs can cause sudden withdrawal symptoms.
Naltrexone is meant to be used along with a comprehensive Stollings rehab program which would include counseling, behavioral modification, lifestyle changes, and compliance monitoring.
