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

One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Marquette battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to administer certain meds to opioid dependent people, many that are opioid-based also and are habit forming. With low enough doses the individual doesn't experience high feelings but also does not experience intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this purpose, but there are a few more choices to select from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300 monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. A person consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced around $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, 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 /month.
