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

One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for clients in Patterson struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to administer certain medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are addiction. With low amounts the user doesn't feel high but also doesn't experience severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options currently to choose from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. Someone taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
