Vivitrol treatment in Frankfort KY is a once-monthly naltrexone injection that can reduce cravings and support long-term recovery for alcohol or opioid use disorder,
CommonHealth Recovery provides Vivitrol treatment in Frankfort as part of a structured outpatient program for alcohol and opioid use disorder. Vivitrol is a once-monthly naltrexone injection designed to reduce cravings and support long-term recovery.
Treatment at our center includes more than medication alone. We combine Vivitrol with counseling, case management, and ongoing medical supervision to help you maintain stability and prevent relapse.
We accept Medicaid, Medicare, and most commercial insurance plans. Our team handles prior authorizations and works to make treatment accessible and affordable.
Vivitrol is an FDA-approved monthly injection containing extended-release naltrexone. This non-addictive medication blocks opioid receptors for 30 days, preventing alcohol and opioids from producing euphoric effects. Unlike daily medications, Vivitrol removes the burden of remembering pills and eliminates the temptation to skip doses.
One injection provides a full month of protection against cravings and relapse. Because Vivitrol has no potential for abuse or diversion, it’s ideal for individuals committed to complete abstinence from alcohol or opioids.
Vivitrol utilizes an antagonist approach – fundamentally different from replacement therapies. The medication gradually releases naltrexone over four weeks, maintaining steady blood levels that continuously occupy opioid receptors throughout your brain and body.
This receptor blockade eliminates the reinforcing effects of alcohol and opioids while significantly reducing cravings. Many patients report that Vivitrol quiets the constant mental chatter about drinking or using, allowing them to engage fully in therapy and rebuild their lives.
Our Unique Vivitrol Benefits:
Backed by extensive research and real patient outcomes, Vivitrol delivers measurable results for lasting recovery
Clinical studies demonstrate dramatic decreases in alcohol consumption for patients receiving monthly Vivitrol injections.
Over half of opioid-dependent patients maintain complete abstinence at 6 months with Vivitrol treatment.
Patients report enhanced employment, housing stability, and family relationships within months of starting treatment.
Preventing relapse reduces emergency department visits and hospitalization by up to 70%.
Critical Safety Information: Vivitrol blocks opioid receptors for approximately 30 days. After treatment ends or if doses are missed, opioid sensitivity returns to pre-addiction levels. Using opioids at this time carries extreme overdose risk.
All patients receive:
Comprehensive assessment including medical history, laboratory testing, and verification of detoxification completion. Opioid-free period of 7-10 days required for opioid use disorder.
Same-day Vivitrol injection upon medical clearance. Development of personalized treatment plan including counseling schedule and support services.
Regular monthly injections with medical monitoring. Ongoing counseling and case management to address all aspects of recovery.
Continued support as needed with flexible treatment duration based on individual progress and stability.
CommonHealth Recovery integrates medication with evidence-based therapies for whole-person recovery:
Many people with opioid or alcohol use disorder also struggle with depression, anxiety, or trauma. Our psychiatric team provides comprehensive mental health assessment and medication management for co-occurring conditions. We use trauma-informed therapy approaches and offer ongoing psychiatric support to help you work through underlying issues that may have contributed to substance use. By addressing mental health alongside addiction, we help you build a stronger foundation for recovery.
Recovery can be challenging when you're dealing with unstable housing, unemployment, legal issues, or transportation barriers. That's where our case managers come in. They help you navigate practical challenges that could derail your progress, connecting you with housing assistance, employment support, and legal advocacy when needed. They can also help coordinate transportation to appointments and guide you through the often-confusing process of insurance navigation, so you can focus on your recovery instead of administrative headaches.
Addiction doesn't just affect individuals—it impacts entire families. We offer family education sessions to help your loved ones understand addiction and recovery, along with communication workshops that teach healthier ways to interact. Our healing relationship counseling addresses the damage that addiction may have caused, and we provide support groups where family members can connect with others facing similar challenges. When families heal together, everyone's recovery becomes stronger.
