Move Forward in Your Recovery With Vivitrol Maintenance In Duluth

We understand you have to manage both the physical and mental side of addiction. For some people, we might integrate Medication-assisted Treatment (MAT) with counseling to help you manage dependency cravings while you move toward a successful recovery. For those struggling with opioid or alcohol use, we offer Vivitrol maintenance in Duluth.

How Does Vivitrol Assist With Substance Use Recovery?

Vivitrol is prescribed to help those dealing with alcohol and opioid addiction. It keeps the brain from experiencing the lack of endorphins that are typically released by drug or alcohol use. You're less inclined to use a substance when you fail to get that endorphin rush. Eventually, you start to have less cravings.

When taking Vivitrol, you should be given an injection every month. Treatments last up to the point where you and your Vivitrol doctor in Duluth determine you've advanced to a certain level in your recovery. In advance of taking Vivitrol, you should have already gone through detox for opioids or alcohol. Vivitrol is most effective in your recovery when combined with addiction counseling like you'll get at The Counseling Center At Duluth. Or, in the event you need inpatient detox or rehab first, we are able to aid you in locating the best course of action when you call 470-444-4194.

Are You Eligible For A Vivitrol Prescription?

In advance of beginning therapy at The Counseling Center, we'll determine if Vivitrol is the right option for you. To start Vivitrol, you should be:

  • 18 or older
  • Within recovery for alcohol or opioid addiction
  • No longer taking alcohol or opioids
