Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Alabaster, AL.

One of the outpatient rehab options for individuals in Alabaster who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to dispense specific medications to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioids also and are addiction. With low amounts the user doesn't feel high but also does not experience acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this purpose, but there are a few more choices to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars monthly for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. An individual taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
