About Vivitrol
Vivitrol is naltrexone as an injection given once a month by a clinician. Naltrexone isn't an opioid: it blocks opioids' effects. The FDA approves the injection for alcohol dependence and to prevent relapse to opioid dependence after detox. Before the first shot you need to be off opioids, usually for 7 to 10 days, or it can bring on sudden withdrawal, which is why many people start it after detox. Naltrexone also comes as a daily pill.
