Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Numa, IA.

One of the outpatient rehab options for individuals in Numa struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to administer certain medications to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids also and are habit forming. With low enough doses however, the individual does not experience high feelings but also does not experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be given in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 monthly for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. A person taking 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 costs about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
