Monthly cadence, not one-off treatment
The injection schedule is every four weeks, so the clinic choice needs to work for repeat follow-up and not just the first appointment.
VIVITROL is a once-monthly 380 mg deep intramuscular gluteal injection administered by a healthcare provider every 4 weeks or once a month. The first injection timeline depends on whether the treatment goal is alcohol dependence or opioid relapse prevention after detoxification.
Many major insurance plans are accepted for addiction-medicine visits across the Nao network, including Medicaid, Medicare, Medicare Advantage, Healthfirst, MetroPlus, Fidelis, UnitedHealthcare, United Healthcare Community Plan, EmblemHealth, Aetna, Cigna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and many commercial plans. VIVITROL coverage can still depend on the office visit, the medication benefit, prior authorization, and how the injection is supplied, so benefits are verified before the schedule is finalized.
Nao Medical offers VIVITROL evaluation, monthly injection scheduling, benefits review, and follow-up across NYC and Long Island for both alcohol-dependence treatment and relapse prevention after opioid detoxification.
The injection schedule is every four weeks, so the clinic choice needs to work for repeat follow-up and not just the first appointment.
Patients using VIVITROL for alcohol dependence should already be able to abstain and should not be actively drinking at the first injection.
Patients using VIVITROL for opioid use disorder usually need to be opioid-free for 7 to 14 days before the first injection, and the team confirms readiness before scheduling administration.
Because the injection is monthly, delays, no-shows, and schedule gaps should be addressed early instead of assumed from the previous calendar.
The best schedule is the one a patient can keep. That means choosing a clinic that makes monthly follow-up realistic and not pretending the first injection is the only step that matters.
For opioid-related treatment, readiness is not just a booking question. Recent opioid use, withdrawal risk, toxicology, and detox history all affect whether the first injection can proceed.
For alcohol dependence, the first injection should follow a real discussion about drinking status, recent withdrawal, and whether the person is in a stable enough place to use VIVITROL as part of an outpatient recovery plan.
Every location page adds the practical details: address, directions, booking context, and related links into the broader addiction-treatment family.

Verified Patient
Helpful to see that scheduling depends on readiness, not just grabbing the next open appointment.
Verified Patient
This explained the monthly cadence much better than most Vivitrol pages.
Verified Patient
Clear about alcohol and opioid timing without sounding vague.
Once the support topic makes sense, the local pages handle the practical part: which clinic to use for monthly follow-up and what that clinic connects to next.
