Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Carlisle, AR.

One of the out-patient rehab options for individuals in Carlisle who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to administer specific medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. In low doses the individual does not feel high and also doesn't have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this purpose, but there are a few more options to select from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the drug, which 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 in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be administered in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 /month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. A person taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult 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 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
