Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Fairland, OK.

One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for clients in Fairland who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to give certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. In low doses the user doesn't experience high feelings and also doesn't have acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be dispensed in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 per month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. A person taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
