ARCA Midwest (Assisted Recovery Centers of America) is one of the first facilities in St. Louis to offer VIVITROL®, an injectable form of naltrexone, to treat alcohol dependence.

With VIVITROL, you don’t have to take medicine for your alcohol dependence every day. That means more time for you to focus on your successes, your goals, and your recovery.

Proven Support for Recovery:
Safe, proven medications virtually eliminate withdrawal symptoms and cravings, greatly improving treatment success.
Alcohol and narcotics damage the brains pleasure system, producing the overwhelming cravings of addiction. This chemical imbalance can be corrected with medication.
FDA-approved drugs such as Suboxone® (buprenorphine) relieve withdrawal symptoms, while Vivitrol®, ReVia® (naltrexone) control cravings. Other promising medications include Zofran® (ondansetron) and Topamax® (topiramate).
Unlike older alternatives, these treatments are non-mood altering, non-addictive and have few side effects. Most patients take anti-craving medications for three to six months and continue counseling for up to one year.
Freed from physical discomforts, you can focus on relapse-prevention counseling and long-term recovery. Best of all, you can undertake this treatment on an outpatient basis.
Anti-craving medications can generally be taken along with treatments for mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder, which often occur in tandem with addiction disorders.
The isted Recovery program is based on the internationally recognized Pennsylvania Model of Recovery developed by Dr. Joseph Volpicelli at the University of Pennsylvania.

Naltrexone is one of the first anti-craving medications approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in the treatment of alcoholism and opiate addiction.

Naltrexone comes in two forms:

1) Vivirol®-an injectable time released form of naltrexone that is taken once a month. Click to visit Vivitrol’s website for more information.

2) ReVia© or naltrexone- taken daily in pill form.

Here are some of the many benefits of naltrexone in the treatment of drug and alcohol dependence:

• Most patients experience dramatic reductions in craving within hours of taking the first dose.

• Naltrexone blocks the high of alcohol and narcotics, reducing the incentive to drink or use drugs and significantly increasing treatment success.

• Naltrexone is a non-habit forming medication that can be discontinued at any time.

• Naltrexone can be given with other medications, especially those used to treat depression and other such psychiatric conditions.

• Naltrexone works best when used in combination with relapse-prevention therapies.
