A couple weeks ago I attended the funeral of an amazing woman who died at the age of 67 from Lou Gehrig’s Disease, or ALS. She had decided early on to make her dying process a gift to her loved ones. Printed on her memorial card was the question, “What does love require of me today?”

Raphael (I don’t use patients' real names, so I thought this would be a fun one) came to the office recently to have his monthly Vivitrol injection. Vivitrol is the trade name for a long-acting formulation of naltrexone, which is a pure opiate antagonist or blocker. After the rapid detox, Vivitrol is often given monthly to occupy the endorphin receptors in the brain to help fight cravings and help with a successful recovery.
