What Is Vivitrol?
Vivitrol is the brand name of a medication called naltrexone that is prescribed to help people struggling with opioid use disorders or alcohol use disorders. For opioid rehabilitation, it is given as a 4ml, 380mg gluteal intramuscular injection by healthcare professionals in a medical facility or select addiction treatment centers every four weeks, and for the treatment of alcohol addiction, it is given as a pill that is taken every day. The concentration of Vivitrol gradually declines over time.
Taking Vivitrol for opioid dependence works because it is an opioid antagonist. Vivitrol blocks opioid receptors in the brain, which makes it impossible to get high for over a month. It also helps reduce withdrawal symptoms and cravings. To treat alcohol dependence, it works because it reduces cravings and the “buzz” or rush of endorphins that drinking causes the brain to release, making drinking a thoroughly unpleasant activity (but it does not stop intoxication), preventing relapse.
If you have an opioid dependency or are addicted to pain medications, opioid street drugs, or alcohol, Vivitrol injections or oral tablets may help you in your addiction treatment journey.

Signs of Vivitrol Abuse and Addiction
Vivitrol (naltrexone) has a very low potential for substance abuse because it does not produce any type of high intoxication or sedation, so there is almost zero chance of developing a naltrexone addiction or physical dependence by taking Vivitrol. For this reason, unlike replacement medications like methadone, Vivitrol treatment, and other naltrexone medications can be prescribed by any medical professional who can write prescriptions without any special substance abuse training.
Vivitrol Withdrawal Symptoms
Vivitrol does not cause withdrawal symptoms when you stop taking it. The only risk of withdrawal is if you start Vivitrol treatments before completely detoxing from opioid drugs. By instantly blocking the effects of opioids, Vivitrol can cause the body to go into sudden opioid withdrawal that is serious enough to require hospitalization. It is recommended to be opioid-free for a minimum of seven to 10 days before beginning Vivitrol treatments.
Long-Term Side Effects of Vivitrol Abuse
No long-term Vivitrol side effects are directly associated with taking this medication. There is a risk of liver damage over time, which could worsen and cause serious damage if left untreated. For this reason, it is advised to undergo consistent blood testing for liver function while undergoing Vivitrol treatment and to watch for signs of liver failure like yellowing skin and eyes or severe stomach pain.
