Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Pelkie, MI.

One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Pelkie battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low doses the client does not experience being high but also does not experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices to choose from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be dispensed in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars /month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this formulation, also known as 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 a month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
