Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Ocheyedan, IA.

One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for individuals in Ocheyedan struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to administer specific medications to opioid dependent people, many that are opioids also and are addictive. In low enough doses the individual does not experience being high and also doesn't experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this sole purpose, but there are other choices to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be administered in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars a month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. Someone taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs around $450 a month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
