Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - French Camp, MS.

One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for individuals in French Camp battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to give certain medications to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioids also and are habit forming. In low amounts the individual does not experience being high and also does not have acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this purpose, but there are a few more options to pick from.

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