Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Timberon, NM.

One of the outpatient rehab options for individuals in Timberon who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to dispense specific medications to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. In low doses the user does not feel high but also does not have intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this purpose, but there are alternative options currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be administered in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars per month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. A person taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced around $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
