Vivitrol Treatment
Vivitrol treatment is a new treatment protocol approved in 2006 for those suffering from alcoholism as well as addiction to opiates. Its primary use is for the treatment of alcoholism. It is the same drug as Naltrexone, and instead of being administered as a daily pill, as in the case of Naltrexone, it is administered through an injection once a month. In a qualified drug rehab center like Sunset Malibu, it is used as a part of our alcohol treatment program. The drug itself cannot “cure” alcohol or drug addiction. It is merely a tool to help addicts reduce their desire for alcohol and opiates such as heroin and cocaine. Once the desire to use is lessened, treatment programs are the means by which recovery is achieved. Again, Vivitrol treatment by itself does not work to help an addict recover.
At Sunset Malibu, our Vivitrol treatment facility is an exclusive and private rehab center located in sunny Malibu, California. We are one of the leading alcoholism treatment centers in the world and offer one of the most successful Vivitrol treatment programs available. Our experienced and caring staff is dedicated to helping you as an individual to get sober and stay sober for the rest of your life. If you are suffering from the disease of alcoholism, please call Sunset Malibu today at 1-800-332-9202. With our exclusive and individualized treatment programs we will help you get the help you need to recover from your addictions. Call today.
What is Vivitrol Treatment?
Vivitrol treatment is mainly used to treat alcohol dependence, but is also used to treat people with an addiction to opiates. Vivitrol is administered via an injection and is administered once per month, versus Naltrexone, which is taken orally daily. Prior to being administered, the person receiving Vivitrol treatment must have been alcohol or narcotic free for at least 10 days. Because it is a powerful opioids receptor antagonist, meaning it reduces the cravings for opioids as well as alcohol, Vivitrol treatment can have some serious side effects. Some of these side effects include feeling light-headed or even fainting, mood changes including hallucinations, difficulty breathing, a fast heart beat, general weakness or muscle and joint pain.
By combining Vivitrol with traditional 12-step programs, Vivitrol treatment is effective by helping addicts reduce their cravings for alcohol. Vivitrol treatment by itself is not a “cure” for alcohol and opiate addiction, but it is an effective tool used during the alcohol rehab process. The reduction in cravings for alcohol and other drugs allows the addict to concentrate on their recovery. Thus, the treatment process itself can be more effective for true long-term recovery.
If you or a loved one has an addiction to alcohol or opiates, please call Sunset Malibu today at 1-800-332-9202. We will get you the help you need to get back to a healthy and drug-free life.
Addiction Recovery Programs
Addiction recovery is not an easy path. Becoming an addict did not happen in a vacuum in a week or even a month. Recovery will not occur in a vacuum in thirty days. Your recovery, however, can begin today with us here at Sunset Malibu. And that recovery begins with the first step: recognizing that you have a problem with drugs. Recognizing that you cannot get better by yourself and that you need help is a part of that first step. Once you have made this discovery and commitment, then we can help. Without this first step there is nothing that we can do for you. You and only you must take the first step. Once you do, we will be there for you every other step along the road to recovery.
The addiction recovery programs offered by Sunset Malibu are among the most successful in the world. One reason for this is that we tailor our Vivitrol treatment programs to each individual. Your history of alcohol and drug abuse is unique to you. Your Vivitrol treatment has to be unique to you if it is to be successful. Many other drug rehabs will offer treatment, but mainly this treatment is the same for you as everyone else. At Sunset Malibu, we know that our success is based on our individualized Vivitrol treatment of your addictions. And that individualized treatment means that you will succeed in the long term
Why not call us today? We have expert and caring staff waiting to take your call and gently guide you to a new life. Call Sunset Malibu right now at 1-800-332-9202.
