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

One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for clients in Flushing battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to dispense specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low doses however, the client does not feel high but also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this reason, but there are a few more options currently to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars monthly for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
