Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - New Liberty, IA.

One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for people in New Liberty who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioids also and are habit forming. With low enough amounts however, the user doesn't experience being high and also doesn't experience acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this purpose, but there are alternative choices to select from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be dispensed in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 monthly for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. A person consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
