Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Ada, MI.

One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for individuals in Ada struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low enough doses however, the user does not experience being high and also does not have acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this sole purpose, but there are other choices currently to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be administered in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this formulation, 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 about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
