Opiate Dependence
"My son is addicted to oxycontin.  He went to rehab twice and to an extended living facility. He relapsed after both. He is in his second month of Vivatrol treatment and so far is doing very well. He is going to school and says he has no cravings.  Still, he has sleep issues and difficulty concentrating.  We are very hopeful that he will get his life back.  He is seeing a private therapist (psychologist) once a week as well.  He is very confident that this combination as well as lots of family support will give him what he needs to succeed in living a drug free life.  Many people pray for him every day and we are all very hopeful. In seven weeks he gained ten pounds. That is a big improvement."
