Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Atalissa, IA.

One of the outpatient treatment options for clients in Atalissa who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids also and are addictive. In low doses the user does not experience being high and also doesn't have acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this sole purpose, but there are other choices to choose from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be administered in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 per month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. An individual 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 is also taken every day, and is priced around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
