The outpatient detoxification program was very helpful. At home with my family support and comfort medications. The transition to the Vivitrol® shot went amazingly well. Dr. Woolhandler and his nurse called me daily to help guide me through the difficult parts of the opiate detoxification. Thanks, Doc I would highly recommend your program to anyone who is motivated to be opiate abstinent!

Take the first step to taking your life back.
