Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Earl, NC.

One of the out-patient rehab options for people in Earl who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low amounts however, the individual does not experience being high but also does not experience acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be given in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars a month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. An individual taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs about $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
