Yes, as these two block the morphine receptor and thus the effects of the Morphine.

"An antagonist is a drug that blocks opioids by attaching to the opioid receptors without activating them. Antagonists cause no opioid effect and block full agonist opioids. Examples are naltrexone and naloxone. " Naloxone is a drug used to counter the effects of opiate overdose, for example morphine overdose. I would say it's false. It's antagonistic.
