Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Huxford, AL.

One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for individuals in Huxford battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to administer specific medications to opioid dependent people, many that are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low enough doses the user does not experience being high and also doesn't experience intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this purpose, but there are other options to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be dispensed in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300 a month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
