Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Medanales, NM.

One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Medanales who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. With low amounts the user does not feel high but also does not experience intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options currently to choose from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be administered in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300 monthly for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned 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 an individual from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
