Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Dierks, AR.

One of the out-patient rehab options for individuals in Dierks who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to administer specific medications to opioid addicted people, many that are opioids also and are addiction. With low doses the user does not feel high and also doesn't have acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this purpose, but there are other options to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 monthly for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. Someone consuming 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 around $450 a month. Naltrexone is another 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, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
