Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Drasco, AR.

One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for clients in Drasco struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioid-based also and are habit forming. With low enough doses however, the client doesn't experience high feelings but also doesn't have acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this purpose, but there are other options to select from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be given in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about just under $300 a month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug 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 medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
