Vivitrol is the brand name for naltrexone, an opioid blocker administered via a monthly injection by a licensed healthcare provider. It helps reduce alcohol cravings and can cause physical illness if alcohol is consumed.
Vivitrol also plays a key role in preventing opioid relapse. Those receiving Vivitrol treatment are more likely to maintain sobriety than those who do not. The FDA approved Vivitrol in 2010 for the treatment of opioid use disorder.
Before beginning a Vivitrol treatment program, a person must be opioid-free for seven to 14 days to avoid triggering withdrawal symptoms. This is because Vivitrol rapidly removes opioids from receptors in the brain, which can intensify withdrawal. For clients detoxing with buprenorphine, starting Vivitrol too soon can interfere with treatment.
At Sophros Recovery, we believe Vivitrol treatment can be a powerful component of recovery, especially when paired with holistic therapies and personalized counseling.

Headache
Dizziness
Loss of appetite
