Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Allison, IA.

One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for individuals in Allison who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to administer specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. In low enough amounts however, the client does not experience high feelings but also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are a few more choices currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 /month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, 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 /month.
