The Summa Health Vivitrol® Clinic offers patients a chance to kick their opioid habit. When used as part of a treatment plan that includes counseling, Vivitrol® can help prevent relapse to opioid dependence after detox. Vivitrol® (naltrexone) is a once-monthly injection that does not lead to physical dependence. This drug blocks any response from opiates. Patients are required to enroll in our Addiction Medicine Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), available at our Akron, Canton and Hudson locations.
