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

One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for people in Shelby battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low enough amounts however, the user doesn't experience high feelings and also does not experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this reason, but there are other options to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be administered in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars monthly 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 opiates. Someone taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 per month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
