COMING SOON: Vivitrol®: A Non-Narcotic Path to Relapse Prevention serving the Augusta, GA Area
Southern Pines in the process of adding a new, non-narcotic option to our outpatient services. Vivitrol is a once-monthly injection designed to support long-term sobriety by blocking the effects of opioids and alcohol while significantly reducing physical cravings. This upcoming service will be an additional tool for those seeking a non-habit-forming path to relapse prevention.
A Flexible Path to Recovery in Georgia
Vivitrol® is an optional resource for those who want a “safety net” after completing the detoxification process.
Our program is ideal for people who want:
- Open Access: You do not need to have completed our specific detox program to qualify. We welcome individuals who have successfully detoxed at other facilities and are looking for long-term support.
- Non-Addictive Support: Because Vivitrol is an antagonist (not a replacement narcotic), it has no potential for abuse and does not cause physical dependence.
- Once-Monthly Simplicity: For those who choose it, one injection provides 28 days of continuous support, removing the need for daily medication management.
We are proud to be part of Georgia’s growing continuum of care—helping individuals stabilize medically and begin to build meaningful, life-affirming skills.
Clinical Requirement for Starting Vivitrol® at Southern Pines
Safety Requirements
To ensure safety and prevent sudden withdrawal, patients must be completely opioid-free — including the completion of any clinical tapers — for a minimum of 7 to 14 days before receiving their first injection.
Our team can help determine if you have reached this window and are ready to start. If medical detox is needed first, we can support you through our outpatient detox program or refer you to an inpatient facility.
Vivitrol® should be used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan including counseling and behavioral support.
