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

One of the outpatient treatment options for individuals in Swanlake who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to give certain medications to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. With low enough amounts the client doesn't experience being high but also does not have severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 monthly for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. Someone consuming 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 costs around $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
