Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - New Boston, MI.

One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for people in New Boston battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low amounts however, the client doesn't experience high feelings and also doesn't experience acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this reason, but there are a few more choices currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be administered in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around just under $300 per month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel 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 another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
