Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Scobey, MS.

One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Scobey who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. In low amounts the client does not feel high but also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, but there are a few more options currently to select from.

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