[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 700829, member: 1967"] Naltrexone is marketed as Vivtrol. The shots are very expensive without insurance (app. $1000) a month. I've read that it can be very effective and I hope my daughter gets to try it when she leaves the program she is in. She wants to get the shots but has to find out if her insurance will cover them. You can also take it as pills but then the addict would have the option of skipping them which makes it less likely to be successful. It is not a long term solution since there can be side effects but it would help with early recovery. My daughter always does great in structured programs but relapses when she is working and living on her own. She thinks Vivitrol would help her when she moves out on her own. I wish medications like this were available to everyone . . . not just the haves in our society. So many addicts don't have insurance so what are they supposed to do? ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
