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

One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Robeline who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to dispense certain meds to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. In low enough amounts however, the user doesn't experience being high but also does not experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this reason, but there are a few more options currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be given in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 per month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. Someone taking this formulation, also known as 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 taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
