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

One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for individuals in Valley Springs who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to give certain medications to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. In low doses however, the user doesn't experience being high but also doesn't have intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, but there are alternative choices currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be dispensed in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. Someone consuming 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 on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
