Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Dillard, GA.

One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for clients in Dillard struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. With low enough amounts however, the user doesn't feel high but also does not have intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this reason, but there are alternative choices currently to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 monthly for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. A person 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 is also taken daily, and is priced around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
