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

One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Newton who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. In low enough doses however, the client doesn't experience being high and also does not have intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are alternative options currently to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be dispensed in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 /month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. A person consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual 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 monthly.
