It is a once-monthly injectable form of naltrexone that works by blocking the effects of opioids and helping reduce alcohol cravings. Vivitrol® is most effective when used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan that includes ongoing medical care and recovery support.
How often is Vivitrol® administered?
Vivitrol® is administered once every four weeks, or approximately once a month, by a qualified healthcare provider. Because it is an extended-release injection, the medication provides continuous support throughout the month without the need for daily dosing.
Can Vivitrol® treat alcohol and opioid dependence?
Yes. Vivitrol® is FDA-approved to help prevent relapse in individuals recovering from both alcohol dependence and opioid dependence. Before starting Vivitrol® for opioid use disorder, patients must complete the appropriate detoxification period and be opioid-free, as determined by their healthcare provider. Your provider will evaluate your medical history and recovery goals to determine whether Vivitrol® is the right treatment option for you.
Will I continue seeing my provider during treatment?
Yes. Regular follow-up appointments are an important part of Vivitrol® treatment. During these visits, your provider will monitor your progress, discuss your recovery goals, address any questions or concerns, and determine whether your treatment plan should be adjusted. Ongoing medical supervision helps ensure you receive safe, personalized care while supporting your long-term recovery and overall well-being.
