Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Kwigillingok, AK.

One of the outpatient rehab options for clients in Kwigillingok who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to administer certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioids also and are habit forming. With low amounts the user does not feel high but also does not have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this purpose, but there are alternative options currently to select from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300 monthly for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. A person 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 daily, and is priced around $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
