Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Mc Crory, AR.

One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Mc Crory struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to administer specific meds to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low amounts the user doesn't experience being high but also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to select from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 /month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this formulation, also known as 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 per month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
