[QUOTE="DarkwingPsyduck, post: 689939, member: 20267"] Well, Vivitrol is good in that it renders using pointless. Like the way that Suboxone fills the mu receptors, and closes them off. This is why we don't crave while on it. We cannot get high while on it. This is a good thing, but there is SO much more to it. Ideally, you use these drugs as a part of a comprehensive recovery plan. They aren't really meant to be replacements like Methadone was. The idea is that the addict can pick up the shattered pieces of their lives without having to worry about withdrawal, and cravings. It isn't meant to be forever. It is easy enough to stay clean when you don't even have the option of using, but the ultimate goal is to get to a place where you do make the choice not to use.
