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

One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for individuals in Ranburne who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid dependent people, many that are opioids themselves and are habit forming. In low enough amounts however, the user doesn't experience being high but also does not experience acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this purpose, but there are other options to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be administered in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars a month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. Someone taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs about $450 per month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
