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

One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for people in Daleville who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to administer certain medications to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioids themselves and are habit forming. In low amounts however, the client does not experience being high but also doesn't have acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be dispensed in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300 per month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
