What is Vivitrol Treatment?
Vivitrol Treatment Program Idaho
Vivitrol represents a breakthrough in addiction treatment, using extended-release naltrexone to completely block opioid receptors and eliminate drug cravings. This non-narcotic medication prevents the pleasurable effects of substances while supporting natural brain chemistry recovery.
Delivered through monthly scheduled injections, Vivitrol provides freedom from daily dosing while maintaining consistent therapeutic levels. Patients experience reduced urges to use opioids, allowing them to concentrate on rebuilding careers, strengthening family bonds, and developing healthy coping strategies.
Our Idaho clinic for medication-assisted treatment maintains strict clinical standards for Vivitrol administration and patient care. We provide thorough medical evaluation, precise injection protocols, and continuous monitoring to ensure optimal outcomes.
Reach out today to learn how our Vivitrol shot program can provide the craving control and relapse prevention you need for sustained recovery.

Clinical Research & Evidence of Vivitrol Treatment
Behind every substance use disorder is a person working to regain control of their life, and Vivitrol has helped many do just that. FDA-approved and backed by years of clinical research, this long-acting injectable medication is one of the most rigorously studied treatments for opioid addiction, with numerous studies confirming it not only reduces use but also supports long-term recovery efforts.
Healthcare systems across the country have integrated Vivitrol into treatment protocols, improving patient outcomes and reducing dropout rates. A systematic review found that extended-release naltrexone was associated with reduced opioid use compared to placebo in multiple studies. Clinical trials also show that individuals receiving the medication maintain higher abstinence rates and achieve longer periods of sobriety, milestones once considered difficult to sustain.
This approach is particularly effective for individuals who have completed detoxification and are committed to maintaining sobriety with the support of evidence-based medical care.

The overall duration of your Vivitrol treatment program depends on your individual goals and progress. Many patients continue for several months to years, working with their healthcare team to determine the optimal treatment length.
Vivitrol blocks opioid receptors in your brain, preventing you from feeling the euphoric effects of certain substances. Attempting to override this blockade by using large amounts of the drug can be extremely dangerous and potentially life-threatening. The medication creates a complete barrier that makes opioid use ineffective and unsafe. If you experience pain or medical emergencies requiring opioid medication, inform your healthcare provider immediately.
You must be completely opioid-free for 7-14 days before receiving your first injection. Starting medication-assisted treatment with naltrexone too soon can trigger severe withdrawal symptoms that require immediate medical attention. Our team will conduct a thorough screening to ensure your system is clear before administering your first shot.
Common side effects include localized pain, swelling, or redness at the injection site. Some patients may experience nausea, headache, dizziness, or fatigue, which typically improve as your body adjusts to the medication. Most side effects are mild and temporary, resolving within a few days of beginning treatment. Contact our clinic if you experience persistent or severe side effects that interfere with your daily activities.
Vivitrol itself won't cause positive results on standard drug screening tests for illegal substances. However, some specialized tests can detect naltrexone, so inform testing facilities about your prescribed medication if necessary. Most employers and legal systems recognize Vivitrol as a legitimate medical treatment for addiction. Always carry documentation of your prescription when facing drug testing situations.
Yes, you can discontinue treatment at any time since it's not physically addictive and doesn't cause withdrawal symptoms. However, this may increase your risk of relapse, so discuss your concerns with your treatment team before making the decision. Our staff can help you explore alternative options or address any issues you're experiencing with your current treatment.
Yes, you can travel while receiving Vivitrol, but you'll need to plan your trips around your injection schedule. Contact our clinic before traveling to ensure you don't miss your appointment or discuss arrangements for receiving treatment elsewhere if needed. Maintaining your schedule is crucial for continuous protection against relapse.
If you miss your scheduled injection, contact our clinic right away to book the earliest available slot.
