DETOX TREATMENT
Vivitrol: One More Way to Stay on Track.
Deciding to quit drinking or using opioids is a huge step — and it’s not always easy. Even on good days, cravings can creep in when you least expect it. That’s where something like Vivitrol can come in handy.
It’s a once-a-month shot that helps take some of the pressure off. No, it’s not a magic fix, and it won’t do the work for you — but it can help block the effects of alcohol and opioids. So if you slip, that “rush” doesn’t happen. For a lot of people, that helps the cravings lose their grip.
At our Holistic Health Clinic, Vivitrol is one of the many tools we use to support long-term recovery.
Why folks try Vivitrol?

Who’s it for?
Usually, people start Vivitrol after they’ve fully detoxed — meaning everything’s out of their system. It’s for those who want to stay clean without swapping one habit for another.
