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

One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for clients in Marion battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid dependent people, many that are opioids also and are habit forming. With low amounts the client does not experience being high but also does not have severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, but there are other options to select from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be administered in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about just under $300 /month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
