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

One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Mathiston who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense specific meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. In low doses the individual does not experience high feelings and also doesn't have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this sole purpose, but there are other choices to choose from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed 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 opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be administered in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 per month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. A person taking 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 on a daily basis, and costs around $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
