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

One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for people in Lockesburg who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense certain meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. With low amounts however, the individual doesn't experience being high but also does not experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this reason, but there are alternative choices currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be administered in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. 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 is priced around $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opioid 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, it prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
