Provider capability mix in Roxbury
Some Roxbury Vivitrol providers are office-based prescribers who do nothing else. Others are full-service SUD treatment centers that handle detox, IOP, and counseling alongside the shot.

What to ask before you book in Roxbury
- Do you administer the injection in office, or only prescribe? Some prescribers write the script and send patients elsewhere for administration. That adds a step and a separate appointment.
- Have I been opioid-free long enough? 7 to 10 days minimum for short-acting opioids, longer for methadone or Sublocade. The naloxone challenge test is one way to confirm before injecting.
- Do you accept my insurance, and is prior authorization required? Vivitrol bills under HCPCS J2315. Most commercial plans require prior auth.
- What does follow-up look like? Vivitrol works as one piece of a treatment plan. Counseling, drug screens, and adherence support all matter for outcomes.
- What if I miss a dose? Vivitrol's effective window is roughly 28 days. After that, opioid receptors come back online quickly. Plan for what happens if you cannot get to the next appointment on time.
