Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Bay City, MI.

One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for individuals in Bay City struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to dispense certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioids also and are habit forming. In low enough amounts the user does not experience being high but also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this sole purpose, but there are other choices currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form 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 approximately just under $300 /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. An individual taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid 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, it prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
