Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Murtaugh, ID.

One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for individuals in Murtaugh who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids also and are habit forming. With low doses the individual doesn't feel high but also does not have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be dispensed in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars per month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. Someone taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs about $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
