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

One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for clients in Newport struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. With low amounts however, the user doesn't experience being high but also does not experience severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this purpose, but there are a few more options to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be administered in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars a month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. Someone taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone 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 a month.
