Treatment goals can help your commitment to your recovery journey1

Before starting treatment with VIVITROL® and counseling, take the time to talk openly and honestly with a healthcare provider about your treatment goals.

  • Whether you’re currently in recovery or thinking about making a change, setting your treatment goals can help you stay focused
  • Creating treatment goals that are meaningful to you personally can enhance motivation and keep you accountable

VIVITROL is not right for everyone. There are significant risks from VIVITROL treatment, including risk of opioid overdose, severe reaction at the injection site, sudden opioid withdrawal, liver damage, or hepatitis.

Talk to your healthcare provider about naloxone, a medicine that is available to patients for the emergency treatment of an opioid overdose.

Call 911 or get emergency medical help right away in all cases of known or suspected opioid overdose, even if naloxone is administered.

If you are being treated for alcohol dependence but also use or are addicted to opioid-containing medicines or opioid street drugs, it is important that you tell your healthcare provider before starting VIVITROL to avoid having sudden opioid withdrawal symptoms when you start VIVITROL treatment.
