Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Hot Springs, AR.

One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Hot Springs struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to administer certain medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids also and are habit forming. In low amounts the user doesn't experience high feelings but also doesn't experience acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options to select from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be dispensed in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 /month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. Someone 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 too is taken daily, and is priced about $450 per month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
