Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Dubach, LA.

One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Dubach struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to dispense specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. With low amounts however, the user doesn't experience high feelings and also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this purpose, but there are a few more options currently to select from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be administered in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars a month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. An individual taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs around $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
