Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Cascade, ID.

One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for people in Cascade battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to administer certain medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. With low amounts however, the individual doesn't experience being high and also does not have severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this purpose, but there are other choices to choose from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be given in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars /month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. Someone taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced about $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
