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

One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for people in Cullman struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent people, many that are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low amounts the individual does not experience being high and also does not experience severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be dispensed in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 a month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming 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 too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that 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 injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
