Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Tillery, NC.

One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for individuals in Tillery who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. With low enough doses the user does not experience high feelings but also doesn't experience acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, but there are other choices currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 per month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this formulation, 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 is priced around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
