Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Swea City, IA.

One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for people in Swea City who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. With low enough amounts however, the client doesn't experience high feelings and also does not have acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this reason, but there are a few more choices to choose from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. 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 which can only be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 /month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
