What Is Vivitrol?

Vivitrol is an injectable medication that contains naltrexone, a drug that has been used in the treatment of opioid and alcohol addiction for over thirty years. Unlike other medications that are administered daily, Vivitrol is injected monthly. It works by binding to the brain’s opioid receptors, reducing the cravings associated with opioid and alcohol addiction. However, it should be administered only after the client has been detoxed for at least seven days to reduce the risk of precipitating withdrawal symptoms.

The primary benefit of Vivitrol is its ability to reduce cravings for opioids and alcohol. This reduction in cravings allows individuals to focus on their recovery and maintain their sobriety. Other benefits of Vivitrol include lesser chances of relapse, reduced risk of overdose, and fewer side effects than other medications. Additionally, Vivitrol can help individuals to overcome the emotional and psychological challenges of addiction by providing a strong foothold in recovery.

Vivitrol is never a standalone treatment. It must be used in conjunction with a comprehensive addiction treatment program that includes individual and group therapy, life skills programs, and other evidence-based treatments.
