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

One of the out-patient treatment options for clients in Fruitdale who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to give specific meds to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioid-based also and are addiction. In low amounts however, the user does not experience being high and also does not experience acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be dispensed in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 a month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. A person taking 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 daily, and is priced approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
