Vivitrol has been around for a couple of decades, but it’s not as widely known.

I think it’s a great tool for treating addiction.

It blocks the effects of an opiate, so you can’t get high.

Medically treating addiction can also mean prescribing medications that deter a person from using.

A perfect example of this is Antabuse.

If you drink alcohol while taking it, you violently throw up.

Medications for drug addiction can help with harm reduction.

A great example of this is methadone–a drug to treat opiate addiction.

Shooting heroin is incredibly dangerous and harmful for a lot of reasons.

Methadone is something like heroin, but it can be distributed legally to save lives and help people function better.

And, of course, one of the primary tools to treat addiction is medications.
