Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Allouez, MI.

One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Allouez battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to give specific medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioids themselves and are addictive. In low doses the user doesn't feel high but also does not have acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this purpose, but there are a few more options to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be dispensed in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 a 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. A person consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
