Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Higgins Lake, MI.

One of the outpatient treatment options for clients in Higgins Lake who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low doses however, the client does not experience high feelings but also doesn't experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this purpose, but there are other choices currently to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is around under $200 per 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 administered in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars monthly for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
