What Is Naltrexone?
Naltrexone is an FDA-approved prescription medication formulated to treat alcohol use disorders and opioid use disorders in a supervised medication-assisted treatment (MAT) program. This medication comes in a daily pill form of naltrexone (oral naltrexone) with brand names Depade or ReVia, or a monthly intramuscular extended-release injectable formula called Vivitrol.
Naltrexone is an opioid antagonist, meaning it binds to the opioid receptors in the body when used to treat opioid withdrawal and addiction. Naltrexone blocks the pain-relieving, sedative, and euphoric effects opioid drugs produce. This makes it less enticing to use these drugs, stopping the person from getting high while also blocking painful and distressing withdrawal symptoms and drug cravings. Naloxone is also part of a drug called Suboxone, a partial opioid agonist made from a combination of buprenorphine and naloxone used as a replacement medication.
When it is used for alcohol addiction, the formulation of naltrexone works by binding to the endorphin receptors in the body, which blocks the pleasant effects of alcohol while simultaneously reducing cravings. Drinking alcohol while on naltrexone will still cause impairment without the “buzz.”
Naltrexone Effects
Common effects of naltrexone for opioid addiction and alcohol use disorder are:
- Nervousness
- Dizziness
- Flu-like symptoms
- Changes in appetite
- Nausea/vomiting
- Sleepiness
- Headache
- Muscle cramps
- Insomnia
There are also less common severe side effects of naltrexone therapy like:
- Increased heart rate and blood pressure
- Reactions at the injection site like pain, swelling, and lesions
- Serious allergic reactions and allergic pneumonia
- Liver damage
- Depression
- Suicidal thoughts
- Risk of an overdose in the case of an opioid relapse
Signs of Naltrexone Abuse and Addiction
Naltrexone has a very low potential for abuse or addiction because it blocks the effects of opioids and alcohol without producing a high or pleasant sensation. Unlike methadone and other replacement medications, naltrexone is not considered addictive and can be prescribed by any medical professional who can prescribe any other medication without any special training.
Naltrexone Withdrawal Symptoms
Naltrexone does not cause withdrawal symptoms when you stop taking it. The only risk of experiencing withdrawal symptoms concerning naltrexone use is if you were to use opioids while on naltrexone or if you were to begin your naltrexone treatments before detoxing from alcohol or opioid drugs. In this case, the naltrexone would force an immediate withdrawal to happen in the body.
Long-Term Side Effects of Naltrexone Abuse
No known long-term issues are directly associated with the long-term use of naltrexone when prescribed to treat alcohol addiction and opioid drug abuse. That being said, in some cases, this medication may cause liver injury that could worsen and become dangerous if left untreated. For this reason, monitoring the liver through blood tests is advised, and if your skin or eyes begin to look yellow or if you have severe stomach pain, contact your doctor immediately.
