Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Mc Callsburg, IA.

One of the outpatient rehab options for individuals in Mc Callsburg who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to dispense certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. In low enough amounts however, the client does not feel high and also does not have severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be given in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 /month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. Someone 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 on a daily basis, and is priced approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
