Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Anita, IA.

One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Anita who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioids also and are addiction. In low enough amounts however, the client does not experience being high and also doesn't have acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this reason, but there are a few more options to select from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be given in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300.00 a month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel 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 taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
