Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Alleene, AR.

One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Alleene who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to administer certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low amounts however, the individual doesn't experience being high but also doesn't have acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this reason, but there are alternative options to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be administered in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 a month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. Someone 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 on a daily basis, and costs approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
