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

One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Hawarden who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to administer specific medications to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low doses the client doesn't experience high feelings and also does not have acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this sole purpose, but there are other options to choose from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be given in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 a month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
