Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Nikolai, AK.

One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Nikolai battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to administer certain medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based also and are habit forming. With low doses the user does not experience being high and also doesn't have acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this sole purpose, 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 drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be dispensed in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars a month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. An individual taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
