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.
Sources: FDA: information about medications for opioid use disorder · Drugs@FDA: Vivitrol (naltrexone for extended-release injectable suspension).
Every program offering medication for addiction, any medicine: Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) in Houston.
Call the program, then the member services number on your Medicaid card: most Texas Medicaid members are in a managed care health plan (STAR, STAR+PLUS, STAR Kids or STAR Health), and the program has to be in that plan's network.
