Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Valeria, IA.

One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Valeria struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to administer specific medications to opioid dependent people, many that are opioids also and are habit forming. With low enough amounts however, the individual doesn't feel high and also does not experience intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this purpose, but there are a few more options to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. An individual taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced about $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
