Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Finley, TN.

One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for clients in Finley who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to administer certain meds to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based also and are addiction. In low enough doses the individual does not feel high and also doesn't have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this purpose, but there are other options currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 a month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
