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).
