Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Macks Creek, MO.

One of the outpatient rehab options for people in Macks Creek who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low enough amounts however, the individual does not experience being high but also doesn't experience severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to select from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be dispensed in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced around $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
