Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Sibley, IA.

One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for individuals in Sibley battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to administer certain medications to opioid addicted people, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low enough doses the user does not experience being high but also does not have intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this sole purpose, but there are other options to choose from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300 /month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. A person consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
