Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Vining, IA.

One of the outpatient treatment options for people in Vining battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids also and are habit forming. In low amounts however, the individual does not experience high feelings and also does not have severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this purpose, but there are other choices to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be given in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 per month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming 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 every day, and is priced about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person 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.
