Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Dickens, IA.

One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for people in Dickens who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. In low enough doses the client doesn't experience being high and also doesn't have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this reason, but there are alternative choices currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars monthly for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. 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 is priced about $450 per month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
