Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Bethel, AK.

One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Bethel who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. In low amounts however, the individual does not feel high and also doesn't have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are a few more options currently to choose from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300 a month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. A person taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is 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, the drug prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
