Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This phase 4 study will evaluate the feasibility of initiating subjects on VIVITROL in prison and continuing VIVITROL upon release into the community.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is an open-label study with a pre-post design. Pre-release opioid-dependent subjects from 4 Baltimore, MD area prisons (three for men and one for women) will receive 1 injection of VIVITROL prior to release from prison and will be offered 6 monthly injections of VIVITROL for 6 months post release. Subjects will complete follow-up visits 1 and 2 months after the last VIVITROL injection. Subjects will be assessed at 10 time points, and adherence to VIVITROL, both in prison and in the community, will be assessed.
