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

One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for individuals in Forkland battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioids also and are habit forming. With low amounts however, the individual does not experience being high but also does not experience acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options to select from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that 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 $300.00 monthly for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. Someone taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs about $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
