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

One of the out-patient rehab options for clients in Michigan Center battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to dispense specific meds to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. In low amounts however, the user does not experience high feelings but also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this purpose, but there are a few more options to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be given in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 /month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. An individual taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and is not 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 an individual from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
