Vivitrol® Clinic for Alcohol & Opiate Disorders

  Vivitrol®  is an FDA-approved medication designed to block the effects of opioids and reduce alcohol cravings. By binding to opioid receptors in the brain, the pleasurable effects of these substances are blocked. Thus, individuals find a reduced desire to use these substances. This type of treatment works best when combined with our treatment methods, such as behavioral therapy including both individual and group therapy sessions.

Based on your initial assessment, our professional team can determine if you are a good candidate for  Vivitrol® . Monthly  Vivitrol®  injections are administered through intramuscular injection and must be performed only by licensed medical professionals.

Research supports the use of Vivitrol®  to help support individuals overcoming drug and alcohol disorders. A 24-week study found that 36% of patients who used Vivitrol®  and counseling treatments were opioid-free at weekly visits, compared to only 23% who received a placebo injection (without medication).

Vivitrol®  may not be the answer for everybody. However, some individuals may find Vivitrol®  to help support their journey to overcoming drug and alcohol dependence disorders. To learn more about how our Vivitrol®  clinic may be able to help, reach out to us at  (781) 630-5489.

Following your appointment, we’ll offer more guidance and recommendations to see if you’re a candidate for our Vivitrol®  clinic.
