Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Protivin, IA.

One of the out-patient rehab options for individuals in Protivin who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to give specific medications to opioid addicted people, many that are opioid-based also and are addiction. In low amounts the user doesn't feel high but also does not have severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this reason, but there are other options currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars monthly for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. Someone taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
