Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Hillsborough, NC.

One of the out-patient treatment options for individuals in Hillsborough who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to give certain medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids also and are habit forming. With low enough doses however, the client does not feel high and also doesn't have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be given in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 per month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
