Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Barryton, MI.

One of the out-patient treatment options for clients in Barryton who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to administer certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. With low amounts the user does not experience high feelings and also doesn't have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this reason, but there are other choices currently to select from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be given in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300 per month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. Someone taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
