Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Patriot, IN.

One of the outpatient treatment options for clients in Patriot battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to give specific medications to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioids also and are habit forming. With low doses however, the user does not experience being high and also doesn't have intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this reason, but there are a few more options currently to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be administered in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 /month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. A person taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
