How Naltrexone Helps
Naltrexone reduces cravings and decreases the rewarding effects of alcohol. It helps you cut back or stop drinking with more control and less struggle. It is not addictive and does not cause withdrawal when discontinued.

What to Expect at Your First Visit
Your initial visit lasts about one hour and includes a full assessment, discussion of goals, education about naltrexone, and a personalized treatment plan.

1. Eligibility & Safety

• Vivitrol is intended for adults who are already opioid-free 
• For alcohol use disorder, patients should have stopped drinking for a few days before the first injection.
• Not recommended for patients with severe liver disease, allergies to naltrexone, or certain medical conditions—screening is required.

2. Side Effects & What to Watch For

• Common side effects: injection site soreness, nausea, headache, fatigue, mild dizziness.
• Rare but serious risks: allergic reaction, liver problems. Your PMHNP will monitor labs as needed.
• Patients should report any unusual symptoms immediately.

3. Lifestyle & Expectations

• Vivitrol works best when combined with supportive care, such as therapy, counseling, or peer support, even in a non-MAT clinic.
• It reduces cravings but does not eliminate the need for behavioral strategies.
• Alcohol may be less pleasurable while on Vivitrol, but it does not make drinking safe—relapse can still occur.

4. Pre-Injection Requirements

• Patients should be alcohol-free for at least 3–7 days (depending on provider guidance) before the injection.
• Inform the provider of all medications, supplements, and medical conditions.

5. Follow-Up & Monitoring

• Monthly visits ensure the medication is effective, side effects are minimal, and your recovery plan is progressing.
• Labs or additional assessments may be scheduled periodically for safety monitoring.

6. Emergency Guidance

• Seek immediate medical attention for signs of severe allergic reaction (rash, swelling, trouble breathing) or severe liver-related symptoms (yellowing skin or eyes, dark urine, severe fatigue).
