Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Berry, AL.

One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for people in Berry who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioid-based also and are addiction. In low enough amounts however, the user does not feel high and also does not experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be given in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars monthly for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. A person consuming this version of the drug, AKA 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 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't 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 getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
