Vivitrol, a drug previously sold only in daily pill form, to be available in monthly injection to treat alcoholism. The drug, also known as naltrexone, will be produced by Cambridge, Mass.-based Alkermes Inc. in injectable form. It will be marketed and sold by Cephalon Inc., of Frazer, Pa: Naltrexone initially won FDA approval for treating alcoholism in 1994. It first was sold to treat narcotic dependency. Doctors said the drug works by suppressing one's craving for alcohol in that it blocks neurotransmitters in the brain, a factor believed to trigger alcohol dependence. But the drug could cause liver damage, doctors warned. Injections of Vivitrol will be administered at a doctor's office in conjunction with counseling or group therapy, according to the company. These details refer to America. I do not know about any other country’s programme. For more detailed information, ask your doctor.
Hope this helps

the only injection you can give them is an open meeting for you at aa then you snaging the pamplets or purchase a big book or other related materials then reading them a 1000 times to them and that should do it and if there really bad they can have turmeric or stinging nettle tea unless there still curious about trying jack daniels in a big cc needle but the teas wont cure they help though you cant make them quit they have to be sick and tired of being sick and tired the cancer that they git they wont quit smoking and the cemo and radiation combined might not convince them either they might just keep right on doing it maybee they like the scary people and scary places they end up and they seem to not have a conchence there the smartest most creative persons in the whole town but when they pick up there about the dumbest person in the whole town i dont know about you i kinda like when someone didnt flush and its splashing all over my face or you go out to eat with someone and they puke all over the table and then they wipe there face with a unsanitized towel on there face that only god knows were its been with a white towel thats kinda blackend before they get it and the puking under the table and me resting my feet in it and them not telling me about it thats a good time no no or how about when they try to fight with everyone and there 10 feet tall and bullet proof and your living on the edge when you play designated driver and they wanna kick your *** cause they tell you you dont know how to drive and there getting serily and spitting in your mouth i dont know about you but the next time they ask me to go out i tell them im still having fun from the last time we went out

i think there is no injection for relief. the only way to get relief is to get de-addiction therapy. strict counselling must be given to him
