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

One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for individuals in Yetter who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to dispense certain meds to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. With low enough amounts the user does not feel high and also does not experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this purpose, but there are a few more choices to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 a month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. An individual taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs about $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it 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 per month.
