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

One of the outpatient treatment options for individuals in Deerton struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to administer certain meds to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. In low doses the user doesn't experience being high but also doesn't experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this sole purpose, but there are other choices currently to choose from.

Methadone is an opioid and can 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 around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 per month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. An individual taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult 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 an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
