True healing is a journey – one that deserves long-term support, not quick fixes. At Mile High Recovery Center, our Vivitrol program is part of a broader commitment to helping individuals maintain sobriety and rebuild their lives with strength and self-respect.
Vivitrol injections work by reducing cravings and helping prevent relapse. But medication is just one piece. We pair it with evidence-based therapy, peer support, and lifestyle coaching that builds resilience over time.
In our Denver community, recovery is not something you do alone. You’ll find encouragement, structure, and people who genuinely care about your success, because we believe change happens together.
What Is Vivitrol Treatment?
Vivitrol is a once-monthly injectable form of naltrexone, used as part of medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals recovering from opioid or alcohol dependence. Unlike daily medications, it offers extended support without the burden of a daily routine.
It works by blocking specific receptors in the brain, helping reduce cravings and eliminating the rewarding effects of substance use. As an intramuscular injection, it is administered under medical supervision at Mile High Recovery Center for both safety and consistency.
Before starting Vivitrol shots, clients must complete detox and maintain abstinence for 7–10 days to avoid triggering withdrawal. Our team ensures you’re physically and emotionally ready before beginning, so treatment works with your body, not against it.
Benefits of Vivitrol Treatment
When paired with therapy and community support, Vivitrol helps you stay committed to sobriety by reducing the physical temptation to return to substance use.
Benefits of our program include:
Blocks the effects of opioids and alcohol in the brain
Helps you feel more in control of your choices
Monthly dosing supports consistency and accountability
Customized care plans and therapeutic support
Designed to fit into your lifestyle, not disrupt it
At Mile High Recovery Center, vivitrol injection for opioid addiction is part of a holistic program built around your goals, your pace, and your healing.
How Does Vivitrol Work for Addiction Treatment?
At Mile High Recovery Center, Vivitrol is just one component of a larger, interconnected recovery plan. The medication helps create a stable platform – free from the disruption of cravings – so you can fully engage in deeper therapeutic work.
We combine Vivitrol with a range of evidence-based therapies to address the psychological, emotional, and behavioral aspects of addiction:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)
Acceptance And Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Motivational enhancement therapy (MET)
Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR)
Relapse Prevention Planning
Administered in a safe, supportive setting, Vivitrol allows you to stay focused on healing while receiving the structure and guidance needed for sustainable growth.
