Question abt. Vivitrol & LDN

Just a question if any one here knows abt. Vivitrol or LDN ??  Any succes stories from its' use ?  Why don't we hear more abt. these two?  I'm thinking that LDN can also be used oraly, but that is only what I've read.  Any thoughts?  Vivitrol.com was one of the places I read from.  Any input appreciated.  Also, I understand that opiate and alcohol use must be terminated a certain length of time before treatment.
Thanks for any replys.

Origionaly I thought this might help those who have been through withdrawl and help keep relapse away, as I know the cravings are he11 .  I had hoped that someone on here had tried it and learn if it works for them.

Thanks for posting ginsa :)

Are you wanting information about Naltrexone for alcoholism/opiate recovery or for treating withdrawl symptoms? I am wanting information about it for treating the depression part of withdrawl. I search daily for more information online. From what I've read, Vivitrol (Naltrexone XR, inj.) is  just for preventing the cravings in recovery. LDN has to be prepared by a compounding pharmacy since Naltrexone is not manufactured in low dose form. This is a fascinating topic! I hope there are some good responses.
