Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Dupont, IN.

One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for people in Dupont who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to administer certain meds to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. With low doses the individual does not experience being high but also doesn't have acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this purpose, but there are other options to choose from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars a month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. A person taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
