Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Bennett, CO.

One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Bennett struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to administer certain meds to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low enough amounts the individual does not experience being high but also doesn't experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried 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 licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be given in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300.00 monthly for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which 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 injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
