Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Brookville, IN.

One of the out-patient rehab options for people in Brookville who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to administer certain medications to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low enough amounts the user doesn't experience high feelings but also does not experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this sole purpose, but there are other choices currently to select from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 per month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs about $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
