Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Mize, MS.

One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for individuals in Mize who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to dispense specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low doses the client doesn't feel high and also does not have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are alternative options currently to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be administered in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300 per month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. A person consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
