Center for Wellness & Wellbeing supports patients on their recovery journey from alcohol and opiate use disorders through our specialized Vivitrol Clinic. Vivitrol, an FDA-approved medication containing Naltrexone, is administered as a once-monthly injection and works by binding to opioid receptors in the brain to block the pleasurable effects of opioids and reduce alcohol cravings, thereby decreasing the desire to use these substances. This treatment is most effective when combined with comprehensive behavioral therapies, including individual and group sessions. Research, including a 24-week study, indicates that 36% of patients receiving Vivitrol and counseling were opioid-free at weekly visits, compared to 23% who received a placebo. If you're considering this treatment, contact us at Center for Wellness & Wellbeing to schedule an evaluation where our professionals will assess your suitability for Vivitrol and discuss how it could potentially support your path to remission. Our clinic provides guidance every step of the way, from initial evaluation to ongoing treatment recommendations.
