I was going to comment on this in my earlier post, but I forgot yesterday. My husband also used the Vivitrol (naltrexone) shot. He got the first one after his detox while he was in the hospital, and then another one the next month while he was in 3 month rehab. He decided to stop the shots for his last month in rehab and focus on working in therapy. (I was worried about it, because it was advised for him to stay on it longer; but it worked out fine for him). They told us working with a therapist/counselor is very important while your on the medicine; because its a package deal, and the therapy would get him where he needed to be in the long run. So we had a good experience with it.
