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

One of the out-patient treatment options for people in Morton struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to administer certain meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low amounts the individual does not feel high but also does not have severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are other choices to select from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be administered in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars a month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. A person consuming this version of the drug, 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 is priced approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
