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.
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.
Self-pay can also be reviewed when insurance is not usable or when a patient wants a clearer upfront path. The visit, medication, and administration components are not always one bundled number, so the team walks through the financial path before the first injection is locked.
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.
Patients should already be able to abstain from alcohol in an outpatient setting and should not be actively drinking when the initial injection is given.
Patients usually need to be opioid-free for 7 to 14 days before the first injection, and treatment starts only after readiness has been confirmed.
VIVITROL is a once-monthly injection. That makes schedule reliability, local access, and realistic follow-up part of the treatment plan.
The team reviews insurance, prior authorization, medication supply workflow, and whether a self-pay path needs to be discussed before the first injection is booked.

View local VIVITROL page Get directionsFor alcohol dependence, VIVITROL is used in patients who are able to abstain from alcohol in an outpatient setting before starting treatment. Patients should not be actively drinking at the time of the initial injection.
For opioid use disorder, VIVITROL is used to help prevent relapse after opioid detoxification. Patients usually need to be opioid-free for at least 7 to 14 days before the first injection, and the team confirms that opioids are no longer in the body before treatment starts.
Before the first VIVITROL visit, patients should be ready to review recent opioid or alcohol use, detox or rehab history, prior naltrexone exposure, all current medications, pregnancy or breastfeeding questions, liver-disease history, and whether opioid pain medication may still be needed in the near future.
The first step is deciding whether alcohol-dependence treatment or opioid relapse prevention is the real reason for the visit, then confirming that VIVITROL is clinically appropriate.
Because VIVITROL is monthly, the program has to work beyond one appointment. The clinic, the calendar, and the follow-up plan all matter.
The visit, medication, prior authorization, and supply path are reviewed before the first injection is locked so the patient is not surprised after the intake.
VIVITROL works best inside a broader recovery plan, not as a stand-alone injection with no counseling, psychiatry, or primary-care coordination.
Use the umbrella MAT hub for the full opioid-treatment picture, including same-day access, bridge visits, fentanyl-related planning, and every active location.
Use the Suboxone hub when the main question is ongoing buprenorphine treatment rather than a monthly naltrexone injection.
Use the Sublocade hub when the comparison is between monthly buprenorphine injection care and monthly VIVITROL treatment.
Use the scheduling page when the main issue is first-injection timing, missed-dose planning, or choosing a clinic that works for monthly follow-up.
Use the benefits page when the main issue is insurance, prior authorization, medication coverage, or whether a self-pay path makes sense.
Use the pre-visit page for alcohol abstinence, opioid-free timing, medication history, and safety questions that affect whether VIVITROL is the right next step.
