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

One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for individuals in Elm Springs who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. In low enough doses the user does not experience being high but also doesn't have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this reason, but there are a few more options to choose from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be given in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 a month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. A person taking 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 daily, and costs about $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
