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

One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for people in Monroe struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to give specific meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. With low enough doses the client doesn't experience being high and also doesn't experience acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this purpose, but there are alternative options to choose from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be given in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars monthly for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. Someone taking this version of the drug, 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 an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
