Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Horatio, AR.

One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Horatio battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. In low enough doses however, the user does not experience being high and also doesn't have acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this purpose, but there are a few more options currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars per month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. An individual taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs about $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and is not 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 experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
