Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Baldwin, MI.

One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for clients in Baldwin struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense specific meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioid-based also and are habit forming. With low amounts however, the individual does not experience being high but also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this reason, but there are alternative choices to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300.00 /month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. A person consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
