Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Onawa, IA.

One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for people in Onawa who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense specific meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. In low amounts the individual doesn't feel high but also does not experience intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this sole purpose, but there are other options to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be administered in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars /month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs about $450 per month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person 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 monthly.
