Experience Freedom with Vivitrol
If you or someone you love is struggling with alcohol or opioid dependence, Vivitrol treatment might be the support you need.
How Can Vivitrol Help?
Vivitrol is a brand name for the medication naltrexone.
Vivitrol is a prescription injectable medicine for the treatment of alcohol and opioid dependence.
Usually, this is part of a comprehensive treatment plan, along with counseling for people with dependency issues.
A Vivitrol injection is administered only once a month (after 30 days) by healthcare professionals.
Vivitrol reduces cravings and prevents relapse after detoxification.
How Does Vivitrol Work?
Vivitrol for alcohol works by blocking the stimulating effects of endorphins released during alcohol consumption – therefore reducing cravings.
For opioids, a Vivitrol shot acts by blocking the effects opioids have at the brain’s receptor sites. It binds to these receptors and prevents opioids (such as heroin or prescription painkillers) from attaching to them.
It reduces the rewarding effects of opioid use, which can keep people from abusing opioids in the long run.
