Suboxone and Vivitrol are both medications that are used in the treatment of opioid use disorder.

Suboxone is a combination medication that contains buprenorphine and naloxone. Buprenorphine is an opioid agonist, which means it activates the same receptors in the brain as opioids like heroin and oxycodone. Naloxone is an opioid antagonist, which means it blocks the effects of opioids. Together, these medications help reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opioid use disorder. Suboxone is typically prescribed for use in an office-based setting and is taken as a sublingual tablet or film.

Vivitrol is a long-acting injectable form of naltrexone, which is an opioid antagonist. It blocks the effects of opioids, reducing cravings and preventing relapse. This medication is given as a monthly injection and is typically prescribed after detoxification from opioids.

These medications are prescribed and are part of our comprehensive treatment plan.
