Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Pinellas Park, FL.

One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for individuals in Pinellas Park battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to administer certain meds to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low doses the individual does not experience being high and also doesn't have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this reason, but there are alternative options currently to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be given in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 a month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs around $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
