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

One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for clients in Brutus battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to give certain medications to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. With low amounts the individual does not experience high feelings but also doesn't experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be given in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars per month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. An individual taking this version of the drug, 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 costs approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug 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 a month.
