Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Abbeville, MS.

One of the out-patient rehab options for people in Abbeville battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to administer specific medications to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. With low doses the individual does not experience high feelings and also doesn't experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be administered in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 a month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. A person taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
