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

One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for people in Nahma who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to administer specific medications to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioids themselves and are addiction. In low enough doses the individual doesn't experience high feelings and also does not have severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this purpose, but there are other options currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be dispensed in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 per month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug that 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 is also taken on a daily basis, and costs approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
