Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Hookerton, NC.

One of the out-patient treatment options for people in Hookerton who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low enough doses the individual does not feel high but also does not experience severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are other choices to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is about 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 given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
