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

One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Leroy who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid dependent people, many that are opioids themselves and are addictive. With low enough doses however, the individual does not feel high and also doesn't have severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be given in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 /month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug 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 anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
