Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Atlantic, IA.

One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for clients in Atlantic who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids themselves and are addiction. With low enough amounts the client doesn't experience high feelings but also doesn't have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be given in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars per month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. Someone taking 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 on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 a month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
