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

One of the out-patient treatment options for people in Watkins battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low amounts the client does not experience being high but also does not have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this reason, but there are other options currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be administered in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 /month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this formulation, also known as 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 costs around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
