Move Forward in Your Recovery With Vivitrol Maintenance In Middlesex

The Counseling Center understands you need to treat both the physical and mental side of drug and alcohol use. In certain situations, we might incorporate Medication-assisted Treatment (MAT) with counseling to help you manage dependency symptoms while you move toward long-term sobriety. For patients grappling with opioid or alcohol addiction, we provide Vivitrol maintenance in Middlesex.

How Will Vivitrol Help With Drug And Alcohol Use Recovery?

Vivitrol is prescribed to aid you with alcohol and opioid addiction. It blocks the brain from feeling the lack of endorphins that are usually released by drug or alcohol use. You're much less likely to use a substance when you no longer get that sense of euphoria. As time goes by, your brain forgets those feelings, and compulsions progressively go away.

To use Vivitrol, you need to get an injection once a month. Treatment is continued up to the point where you and your Vivitrol doctor in Middlesex feel you've progressed to a sufficient stage in your recovery. Before starting Vivitrol, you need to have successfully detoxed from alcohol or opioids. Vivitrol is most effective in your recovery when combined with addiction counseling like you'll see at The Counseling Center at Middlesex. Or, if you are in need of detoxification or inpatient rehab first, we are able to help you find the best treatment option when you reach out to 732-629-9510.
