Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Kirk, CO.

One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Kirk struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid addicted people, many that are opioids also and are addiction. In low enough amounts however, the user doesn't feel high but also doesn't have intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this purpose, but there are other choices currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be dispensed in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars monthly for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. A person consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opiate 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 an individual from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
