Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Ferdinand, IN.

One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for people in Ferdinand who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low amounts however, the client doesn't experience high feelings but also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be given in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300.00 monthly for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, 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 every day, and costs about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
