Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Buffalo Creek, CO.

One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Buffalo Creek battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low amounts however, the individual does not experience being high and also doesn't have intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be given in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars per month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. An individual taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs about $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
