Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Rocky Face, GA.

One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Rocky Face who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to give specific medications to opioid addicted people, many that are opioids themselves and are addictive. With low enough amounts the client does not experience being high and also doesn't have severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are a few more options to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be dispensed in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 per month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. An individual 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 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
