Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Carmen, ID.

One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for people in Carmen battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low amounts the individual doesn't experience being high but also does not experience severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this reason, but there are alternative options currently to choose from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be dispensed in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. A person consuming this formulation, also known as 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 costs approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
