Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Cement City, MI.

One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Cement City struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid addicted people, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low enough doses the client does not experience being high and also does not experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this purpose, but there are other choices currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 monthly for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. A person consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs around $450 a month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
