Battling Opioids Part 3: Vivitrol Mobile Treatment
Vivitrol is a once-a-month injection that is helping those with opioid addiction to move beyond cravings to sustained recovery. Although Vivitrol is proving to be an effective alternative to Methadone and Suboxone treatment, it is not yet widely available. In this story, we learn about a new program that takes Vivitrol to Pennsylvania's rural communities by way of a mobile unit. We speak with the recovering addict who began the mobile treatment program and hear from patients who are staying clean with the help of the drug.
