Naltrexone (Vivitrol) Treatment for Placentia Residents

Recovery from opioid or alcohol addiction often feels like a willpower battle you're losing, but the truth is neurological: addiction rewires your brain's reward system. Naltrexone (Vivitrol) works differently than other medications by blocking the opioid receptors that create that reinforcing high, removing the biochemical craving that pulls people back to use. For Placentia residents, access to this medication has been limited, leaving many without a proven tool that actually addresses the brain chemistry driving relapse.

Compass Recovery's Naltrexone program in nearby Cypress brings this evidence-based treatment within reach, combined with individual counseling, group therapy, and our Purpose Discovery Program to rebuild life beyond addiction. Unlike Suboxone, Naltrexone is an opioid antagonist that requires no tapering, creates no physical dependence, and works for both opioid and alcohol use disorder. You get a non-addictive medication paired with real support, without the complexity of long-term medication management.

Who Naltrexone Treatment Is Right For

Naltrexone is FDA-approved for opioid and alcohol use disorder. It is particularly well-suited for clients where several of these apply.

  • Opioid dependence after completing detox (opioid-free)
  • Alcohol use disorder with strong cravings or relapse history
  • Preference for a non-addictive, non-habit-forming medication
  • Preference for monthly injection over daily pill adherence
  • Previous Suboxone treatment that was discontinued
  • High-risk relapse window after residential or PHP discharge
  • Professional or legal context requiring a non-controlled medication
  • Dual diagnosis requiring clean medication profile for psychiatric treatment

Two Forms of Naltrexone

Oral Naltrexone vs Vivitrol: What Compass Recovery Offers

Naltrexone is available as a daily oral tablet (Revia) or a monthly extended-release injection (Vivitrol). Both block opioid and alcohol reward. Our clinical team determines which form is the right fit based on your history, lifestyle, and treatment goals.

Daily Tablet

Oral Naltrexone (Revia)

A daily 50mg tablet that maintains a consistent opioid and alcohol block. Effective and lower cost, but depends on daily adherence — which can become a vulnerability during high-stress or high-craving periods.

  • Daily 50mg oral tablet
  • Flexible — can be started or stopped as clinically directed
  • Non-controlled, non-habit-forming
  • Covered by most major insurance plans
  • Requires opioid-free period before starting (7-10 days minimum)
  • Most effective when paired with behavioral therapy and accountability
Monthly Injection

Extended-Release Naltrexone (Vivitrol)

A once-monthly intramuscular injection that provides continuous naltrexone coverage without daily pill decisions. Removes the daily adherence barrier — the most common reason oral naltrexone fails — and is particularly effective during the highest-risk relapse windows after discharge.

  • Once-monthly injection — no daily pill required
  • Continuous coverage removes daily decision-making barrier
  • Non-controlled, no physical dependence, no tapering
  • FDA-approved for both opioid and alcohol use disorder
  • Requires opioid-free period before first injection (7-10 days minimum)
  • Integrated with ongoing therapy at every level of care

Suboxone (buprenorphine/naloxone) is a partial opioid agonist — it partially activates opioid receptors to suppress withdrawal and cravings. It can be started during active withdrawal and is primarily used for opioid use disorder. Naltrexone is an opioid antagonist — it fully blocks opioid receptors without activating them, preventing opioids and alcohol from producing any reward effect. It is non-addictive, non-controlled, requires no tapering, and is effective for both opioid and alcohol use disorder. However, it requires a 7-10 day opioid-free period before it can be safely initiated. Our clinical team evaluates which medication is appropriate for each individual situation.
Yes. Naltrexone is FDA-approved for both opioid use disorder and alcohol use disorder, making it one of the few medications with dual-indication approval. For opioid use disorder, it blocks the euphoric effects of heroin, fentanyl, and prescription opioids, making use unrewarding. For alcohol use disorder, it reduces cravings and blunts the pleasure response to alcohol, decreasing the reinforcement that drives continued drinking. This dual effectiveness makes Naltrexone particularly useful for clients with complex or overlapping substance histories, or for those transitioning out of residential care where relapse risk involves both substances.
Yes. Compass Recovery accepts Aetna, Blue Shield of California, Cigna, TriWest, and most major private insurance plans. Both oral Naltrexone and the Vivitrol injection are covered under most plans as FDA-approved, medically necessary treatments for opioid and alcohol use disorder. We verify your specific benefits before you commit to anything — call (949) 444-9047 and we handle verification within a few hours. Self-pay options are also available.
Naltrexone is a full opioid antagonist — it competes with and displaces opioids from their receptors. If opioids are still present in your system when Naltrexone is administered, it will trigger immediate and severe precipitated withdrawal. This is not a mild discomfort — it is abrupt, intense, and can last for hours. To avoid this, a minimum of 7-10 days of opioid abstinence is required before starting oral Naltrexone, and typically 10-14 days before the Vivitrol injection. Our medical team confirms opioid clearance before initiating treatment. If you are currently using opioids, medical detox is the first step — and we can arrange that at our Cypress facility.
