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

One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for people in Watson struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. In low amounts the client doesn't feel high but also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this purpose, but there are alternative options currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be administered in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 monthly for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. A person taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, 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 anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
