Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Foxworth, MS.

One of the out-patient treatment options for individuals in Foxworth who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to administer certain meds to opioid dependent people, many that are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low enough doses however, the individual doesn't feel high and also does not experience acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this purpose, but there are other choices to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is about 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 unlike Methadone that can only be dispensed in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 /month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. A person taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs around $450 a month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
