Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Egan, LA.

One of the out-patient rehab options for clients in Egan who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low enough amounts the individual doesn't experience high feelings but also does not experience acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this purpose, but there are a few more choices to select from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. An individual consuming 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 every day, and costs about $450 per month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug 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 in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
