Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Allred, TN.

One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Allred struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to administer certain medications to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioid-based also and are habit forming. With low enough doses however, the client does not experience high feelings and also does not experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this purpose, but there are a few more choices to choose from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be dispensed in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 /month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. 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 /month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
