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

One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for individuals in Sargents battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent people, many that are opioids themselves and are addictive. With low doses however, the user doesn't experience high feelings but also doesn't have intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this reason, but there are other options currently to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 per month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this version of the drug, AKA 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 monthly. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
