Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Madden, MS.

One of the out-patient rehab options for people in Madden who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to give certain medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. In low enough doses the client doesn't experience high feelings and also does not experience intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this sole purpose, but there are other choices to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be dispensed in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars per month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. Someone taking this version of the drug, AKA 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 costs about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
