Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Meyers Chuck, AK.

One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for people in Meyers Chuck who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to administer specific medications to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. In low amounts however, the user doesn't feel high and also doesn't have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, but there are a few more choices to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars monthly for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. An individual taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced about $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
