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

One of the out-patient rehab options for individuals in Pleasant Mills who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to give certain medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low doses the client does not experience being high but also doesn't have severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this purpose, but there are other choices currently to select from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be administered in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around just under $300 a month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. A person taking 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 is also taken daily, and is priced about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
