Participant Flow

Pre-release opioid-dependent subjects from 4 Baltimore, MD area prisons (3 for men and 1 for women) received 1 injection of VIVITROL prior to release from prison and were offered 6 monthly injections of VIVITROL after release from prison, for a total of 7 injections.

Eligible subjects had a diagnosis of opioid dependence, were seeking treatment, and were eligible for release from prison within 30 days from screening.

Population: All subjects with non-missing data who received at least 1 injection of VIVITROL

Change from baseline in peak craving score 30 days post last injection; assessed using a 100 mm visual analog scale (VAS). Subjects are asked to make 1 slash mark through a point on a 100 mm line that best describes their greatest craving for opioids, whereby 0 represents no craving and 100 is more than ever.
