Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Windsor Heights, IA.

One of the outpatient rehab options for clients in Windsor Heights struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to administer certain meds to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. With low enough doses however, the user doesn't experience high feelings but also does not experience intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this sole purpose, but there are other options currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be administered in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 a 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 blocks the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
