Get Help With Vivitrol Maintenance In Monmouth Junction

At The Counseling Center, we understand you have to manage both the physical and mental side of addiction. In certain situations, we might combine Medication-assisted Treatment (MAT) with our outpatient program to help you manage dependency cravings as you move toward a successful recovery. For patients struggling with alcohol or opioid addiction, we offer Vivitrol maintenance in Monmouth Junction.

How Does Vivitrol Assist With Drug And Alcohol Use Recovery?

Vivitrol is a medication used to help those dealing with opioid and alcohol addiction. It blocks the brain from noticing the deficiency of endorphins that are typically released by drug or alcohol use. You're less inclined to use substances when you no longer get that sense of euphoria. As time goes by, your brain dismisses those feelings, and compulsions slowly dissipate.

When taking Vivitrol, you need to get an injection every month. Treatment is continued until you and your Vivitrol doctor in Monmouth Junction feel you've progressed to a certain level in your recovery. Before beginning Vivitrol, you should have already detoxed from opioids or alcohol. Vivitrol gives you the best outcomes when integrated with addiction counseling like you'll see at The Counseling Center at Monmouth Junction. Or, if you are in need of inpatient detox or rehab first, we can help you find the proper people to talk to when you reach out to 732-605-6353.

Are You A Candidate For A Vivitrol Prescription?

Prior to starting care at The Counseling Center, we'll see if a Vivitrol prescription is the best choice for you. To receive Vivitrol, you need to be:

  • An adult
  • Within recovery for alcohol or opioid addiction
  • No longer on opioids or alcohol
  • No longer experiencing opioid withdrawal symptoms

Experienced Vivitrol Maintenance In Monmouth Junction

one on one with a counselor

The Counseling Center provides Vivitrol maintenance in Monmouth Junction as an element of our Medication-assisted Treatment (MAT). We employ MAT to manage withdrawal symptoms and diminish substance cravings that impede long-term sobriety. Before beginning Vivitrol, you are given a comprehensive assessment and we will advise you in regards to side effects. If Vivitrol isn’t the most suitable option for you, we'll recommend an alternative plan of treatment.

The Counseling Center is here to help with your ongoing doses. We'll keep a supply of your Vivitrol at our Monmouth Junction facilitiy and help you schedule your monthly appointments so that you don't fail to remember a dosage. We'll even track your progression and if you experience side effects.

You should also be participating in drug or alcohol therapy to the greatest impact of Vivitrol injections. While Vivitrol helps control your physical response to alcohol and drugs, our counselors will help work on the mental aspects of substance use and co-existing disorders. In individual and group therapy, you'll receive treatment for underlying mental health disorders and learn effective coping devices to help you live without drugs and alcohol.
