Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Jacksonville Beach, FL.

One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for clients in Jacksonville Beach who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioid-based also and are habit forming. With low enough doses the individual doesn't feel high but also does not have intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this reason, but there are a few more options to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. Someone 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 is also taken on a daily basis, and costs around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. 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 shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
