Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Troy, MI.

One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for clients in Troy who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to give certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. In low amounts the individual does not feel high but also does not have intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this purpose, but there are alternative options to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be given in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars /month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this version of the drug, also known as 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 approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
