Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Sandusky, MI.

One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for individuals in Sandusky struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to administer specific medications to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low amounts however, the user does not experience being high but also does not experience acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this purpose, but there are a few more options currently to choose from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be given in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 a month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
