Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Leonidas, MI.

One of the out-patient treatment options for people in Leonidas who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low enough doses however, the user does not experience high feelings but also doesn't experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this reason, but there are other options to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be given in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around just under $300 per month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. A person taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder 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 monthly. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
