Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Luttrell, TN.

One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for clients in Luttrell who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense specific medications to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. With low enough amounts the client doesn't experience being high but also doesn't have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this purpose, but there are other options to select from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be given in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars a month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
