Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Bailey, CO.

One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for people in Bailey battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. In low enough amounts however, the user doesn't experience high feelings but also doesn't have acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this reason, but there are other choices to choose from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 per month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. A person taking 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 costs about $450 a month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, 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 injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
