Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - De Armanville, AL.

One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for individuals in De Armanville battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to administer specific medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low amounts however, the client doesn't feel high but also does not have intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options currently to choose from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars per month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
