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

One of the out-patient rehab options for clients in Brayton who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to give certain medications to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioids also and are addiction. In low enough doses the individual does not experience being high but also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be given in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that 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 shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
