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

One of the outpatient treatment options for people in Franklin battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. In low doses however, the user doesn't experience high feelings and also doesn't have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are other choices to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be dispensed in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars per month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, 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 shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
