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

One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for clients in Mingo struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioid-based also and are addictive. In low doses however, the client doesn't feel high but also does not have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, but there are alternative options to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be administered in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars per month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. Someone consuming 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 daily, and costs approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
