Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Swayzee, IN.

One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for clients in Swayzee who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to dispense certain meds to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low doses however, the user doesn't feel high and also does not experience acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this purpose, but there are alternative choices to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be given in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. Someone taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs about $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice 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 injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
