Neltrexone id one of the drugs used in treating an addiction to the opiates and/or alcohol. People suffering from a dependency to opiates are not the stereotypical "drug addicts" that we pass by on the streets. This disease afflicts people from all walks of life, regardless of social or economic status - from athletes to stockbrokers, entertainers to homemakers, students to skilled laborers.
It treats person suffering from a dependency to heroin, as well as an addiction to prescription painkillers such as OxyContin, MS Contin Suboxone (Buprenorphine), Methadone, Vicodin, Darvocet, Percocet, hydrocodone, Tramadol or any other opioid.
I think it can be treated in the medical setting only so go and see doctor.

Naltrexone is an opioid antagonist. Naltrexone blocks the effects of narcotic drugs and alcohol. Naltrexone blocks the "high" that is achieved by use of these substances
Naltrexone is used in the treatment of narcotic drug or alcohol addiction..
As a Paramedic we gave narcan when we suspected drug overdose of narcotics and opoids.
Before taking naltrexone, talk to your doctor if you
have used alcohol or a narcotic drug within the past 7-10 days;
have drug or alcohol withdrawal symptoms;
have kidney disease; or
have liver disease.
You may not be able to take naltrexone, or you may require a dosage adjustment or special monitoring during treatment.
