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

One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for people in Garber struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to give certain medications to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. In low enough doses the user does not feel high but also doesn't have severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this purpose, but there are alternative options to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 monthly for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and is not 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 an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
