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

One of the outpatient rehab options for clients in Rake struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to administer certain medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low enough doses the client does not feel high but also does not experience intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this sole purpose, but there are other options to choose from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be given in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 monthly for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. An individual 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 daily, and costs approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
