Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Matheson, CO.

One of the outpatient rehab options for individuals in Matheson battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to dispense specific meds to opioid dependent people, many that are opioids also and are addictive. In low doses the individual doesn't experience high feelings but also doesn't have intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this reason, but there are a few more choices to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300 a month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. An individual taking 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 is also taken daily, and is priced around $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
