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!

I used opiates daily. All day. I had no money, no family, no life and no clean friends. I suffered relapse after relapse. Dr. Woolhandler and Vivitrol® finally stopped all my drug cravings! With a 12 step recovery program and Vivitrol® to control cravings, my family, friends, and life are back! Thank God!! It’s a Miracle!

After two and a half years of using opiates, And coming very close to losing my family and job, I have my life back! I also lost my life savings with my daily highs. I’ve been on the Vivitrol® injections for 5 1/2 years without any side effects other than some soreness at the injection site. But, what is a little soreness compared to a life of misery or even death! Once I received the first injection, I felt like myself again and the cravings were gone. I am so very grateful for Dr. Woolhandler and Vivitrol® for helping me to get my life back in order.

My son has been on the Vivitrol injection for 5 1/2 years for his addiction to opiates. It has been a “Miracle Drug” from the start. He has’t had any side effects other than soreness at the injection site. He now is the son that I knew long ago before the drugs took ahold of him. With the help of Dr. Woolhandler and Vivitrol he has control of his life again. To anyone that is thinking about trying Vivitrol®, I would say “Stop thinking about it and do it!”
