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

One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Biloxi battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. In low amounts however, the individual does not experience high feelings and also doesn't have intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are a few more options currently to select from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be given in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars monthly for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and is not 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 feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
