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

One of the outpatient treatment options for clients in Casa struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. In low enough amounts the user doesn't experience being high and also doesn't experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this sole purpose, but there are other choices to select from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be dispensed in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. A person consuming 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 is also taken every day, and costs about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
