Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Gaines, MI.

One of the out-patient rehab options for people in Gaines who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense specific medications to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. In low enough amounts the user does not experience being high and also does not have acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this reason, but there are alternative choices currently to choose from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 a month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. Someone taking 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 is priced about $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
