Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Golden Gate, IL.

One of the out-patient rehab options for clients in Golden Gate who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to administer certain meds to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low doses the individual doesn't experience being high and also does not have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this reason, but there are a few more choices to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be dispensed in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars /month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. A person consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
