Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Bronwood, GA.

One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for individuals in Bronwood struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low enough doses however, the user doesn't feel high and also does not have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options to select from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars monthly for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. Someone taking 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 every day, and costs about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual 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.
