Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Byhalia, MS.

One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Byhalia who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids themselves and are addiction. In low doses however, the user doesn't experience high feelings but also does not have intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options to select from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be administered in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 per month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. An individual consuming 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 is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 per month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
