Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Stapleton, AL.

One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for clients in Stapleton battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to give certain medications to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low doses the individual doesn't experience high feelings and also doesn't experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, but there are a few more options currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars per month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. A person consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from getting 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.
