Vivitrol blocks the effects of opioids for about a month per injection — powerful relapse protection for the vulnerable period after detox, with no daily medication to manage.
Vivitrol is extended-release naltrexone: it occupies opioid receptors and blocks them completely. If opioids are used, they simply don’t produce the expected effect — which steadily unlearns the craving cycle.
Because it’s an antagonist, Vivitrol isn’t an opioid, isn’t habit-forming, and isn’t a controlled substance. For many patients it’s the right fit after detox — especially when a daily medication feels like one more thing to manage.
Starting requires being opioid-free for roughly 7 to 14 days. That window is exactly what our supervised detox is built for — we manage it safely, then begin injections at the right moment.
We manage your opioid-free window safely and comfortably — the essential first step.
Once you’re ready, a quick in-office injection starts your month of protection.
Injection plus check-in, every month — protection that doesn’t depend on a daily decision.
