Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Safford, AZ.

One of the outpatient rehab options for individuals in Safford battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to administer certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low enough amounts the user doesn't experience being high but also does not experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this purpose, but there are a few more options currently to choose from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be administered in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 per month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. A person consuming this formulation, 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 approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
