Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Diagonal, IA.

One of the out-patient rehab options for individuals in Diagonal battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. In low enough doses the user doesn't experience being high and also doesn't experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, but there are other choices currently to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be dispensed in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars monthly for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. An individual taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
