A Brooklyn location for monthly Vivitrol treatment planning, benefits review, and follow-up for patients in Crown Heights, Prospect Heights, and nearby Brooklyn neighborhoods who need care for alcohol dependence or opioid relapse prevention.
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.
A Brooklyn location for monthly Vivitrol treatment planning, benefits review, and follow-up for patients in Crown Heights, Prospect Heights, and nearby Brooklyn neighborhoods who need care for alcohol dependence or opioid relapse prevention.
Crown Heights works well for patients in Crown Heights, Prospect Heights, and nearby Brooklyn neighborhoods who need a clinic they can realistically use for repeat monthly follow-up.
The visit should clarify whether the monthly injection is being used for alcohol dependence or for opioid relapse prevention after detoxification, because readiness is not identical for both paths.
Visits can cover drinking status, opioid history, detox timing, medication list, liver-history questions, and whether Vivitrol is the right next step.
Patients can use accepted insurance plans when eligible or review a self-pay path when insurance is not workable. Either way, the visit and medication path are clarified before treatment is locked.
Address: 341 Eastern Pkwy, Brooklyn, NY 11216
Phone: (917) 310-3371
Booking: Use the addiction-medicine booking path for the first evaluation, then the local team can clarify whether Vivitrol is the right medication path.
A monthly injection plan works better when the clinic is realistic for repeated follow-up, not just the first visit.
Some patients need help deciding whether their drinking status, withdrawal history, and support plan make Vivitrol appropriate right now.
Some patients need help deciding whether the opioid-free window is long enough and whether the first injection can safely proceed.
Medication alone is usually not the full recovery plan. The location can connect addiction treatment with therapy, psychiatry, or primary care when needed.
Use another clinic if the calendar, commute, or follow-up plan works better there for monthly treatment.

View local Vivitrol care 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.
Choose local MAT care when broader opioid-treatment planning matters more than the monthly Vivitrol option by itself.
Choose local Suboxone care when the practical question is whether buprenorphine treatment makes more sense than Vivitrol.
Choose local Sublocade care when the comparison is between monthly buprenorphine injection care and monthly naltrexone injection care.
Choose benefits verification when the main blocker is insurance, medication approval, or whether a self-pay path is needed.
Review pre-visit requirements when the real issue is alcohol abstinence, opioid-free timing, medication review, or documents to bring.

Book the first addiction-medicine visit, then review scheduling, coverage, or pre-visit readiness if those details need to be sorted out first.
Book addiction medicine visitNao Medical operates a New York State OASAS-certified outpatient addiction treatment program. The first visit can focus on the immediate clinical question and medication planning when relevant, or the care plan can include counseling, recovery support, and closer follow-up when that is wanted or clinically recommended.
Patients can request a private evaluation centered on the immediate concern, prescribing or injection planning when applicable, monitoring, and practical next steps. Medication is never automatic; eligibility and safety still require clinician review.
Patients who want more support can add counseling, relapse-prevention work, care coordination, and recovery follow-up through the outpatient addiction program.
After scheduling, complete the confidential addiction intake form when it is sent. It helps the team review current substance use, prior treatment, medications, insurance, and the safest visit type.
Nao Medical accepts Medicaid and many major insurance plans, including Medicare, Healthfirst, MetroPlus, Fidelis, UnitedHealthcare and UnitedHealthcare Community Plan, EmblemHealth, Aetna, Cigna, and Blue Cross Blue Shield. Coverage varies by visit, medication, pharmacy benefit, testing, counseling, and prior authorization. Review addiction-treatment insurance support.
Vivitrol is extended-release injectable naltrexone. Its FDA-approved uses include alcohol dependence in patients who can abstain before treatment and relapse prevention after opioid detoxification. The alcohol pathway can be medication-focused or combined with counseling and recovery support.
Vivitrol is administered every four weeks or once monthly by a healthcare provider after eligibility and safety review.
The visit reviews current drinking, withdrawal risk, liver history, opioid exposure, other medicines, treatment goals, and whether outpatient care is appropriate.
Counseling, relapse-prevention planning, and follow-up are available through Nao Medical's OASAS-certified outpatient program.
Compare alcohol-use-disorder medications, Vivitrol treatment, oral naltrexone, acamprosate, and disulfiram. Medication does not replace emergency care for dangerous alcohol withdrawal.
