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

One of the outpatient rehab options for people in St. Charles who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to give specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are addiction. With low enough amounts however, the individual does not experience being high and also does not have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are a few more choices to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be administered in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300 a month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. A person taking 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 daily, and is priced about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
