Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Pinconning, MI.

One of the out-patient treatment options for individuals in Pinconning who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to administer specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. In low enough amounts however, the individual doesn't experience being high but also does not experience acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to choose from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars a month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opiate 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, the drug prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
