VivaRx gives Vivitrol (naltrexone extended-release) on-site, by appointment, for alcohol dependence and to prevent relapse to opioid dependence after detox. We handle insurance verification, prior authorization, and scheduling.
Vivitrol is naltrexone extended-release, a non-opioid injection used for alcohol dependence and to prevent relapse to opioid dependence.
A 380 mg intramuscular injection into the gluteal muscle, alternating sides with each dose.
Prepared and injected for you at the pharmacy. It isn’t self-administered.
People must be opioid-free for at least 7 to 10 days before starting. For alcohol dependence, you need to be able to stop drinking in an outpatient setting.
We take the logistics off your plate — and your provider's.
Your prescriber or recovery program sends us the Vivitrol order. We confirm everything is in place.
We verify insurance and manage any prior authorization that’s required.
We call you to schedule, give the injection at VivaRx, and follow up before your next dose.
If you're an IEHP member, your medications are covered through Medi-Cal Rx — the pharmacy benefit we bill every day. We also accept most Anthem Blue Cross and Aetna pharmacy plans, along with most major insurance. Call with your member ID and we'll verify your coverage and start any prior authorization that's needed.
Injections are given at our Rancho Mirage pharmacy. Scheduling is coordinated with your provider or program.
Vivitrol isn’t for people who are taking opioids, are physically dependent on opioids, or are in acute opioid withdrawal. Starting too soon can cause precipitated withdrawal.
Talk with your prescriber about whether Vivitrol is right for you, and read the full prescribing information.
