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

One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for people in Charlotte battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to administer specific meds to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. With low enough amounts the individual does not experience high feelings but also does not have severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this purpose, but there are other options to select from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be given in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 a month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult 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 an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't 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 therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
