Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Rogers, AR.

One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for clients in Rogers who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to administer certain meds to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. In low enough doses however, the user does not experience high feelings and also does not experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options currently to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be administered in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 /month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs around $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
