Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Log Lane Village, CO.

One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for individuals in Log Lane Village who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to give certain medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids themselves and are addiction. With low enough doses however, the client does not experience high feelings but also does not have severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be administered in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming 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 too is taken daily, and costs approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
