Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Gowen, OK.

One of the outpatient rehab options for people in Gowen who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense certain medications to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids also and are addiction. With low enough amounts however, the individual does not feel high but also does not experience acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this reason, but there are a few more choices currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be given in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars monthly for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med 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 too is taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
