Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Kamas, UT.

One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for clients in Kamas who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid addicted people, many that are opioids themselves and are addictive. In low doses the user doesn't experience high feelings but also does not experience severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this purpose, but there are a few more choices to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be given in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
