Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Le Claire, IA.

One of the outpatient rehab options for individuals in Le Claire struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to give specific meds to opioid dependent people, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low enough amounts the client doesn't experience high feelings but also does not have intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
