Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Amagon, AR.

One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for clients in Amagon battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to dispense specific meds to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. In low amounts however, the individual does not experience high feelings but also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this purpose, but there are other choices currently to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be dispensed in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars /month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. A person taking this formulation, 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 costs about $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
