Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Preble, IN.

One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for people in Preble struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. With low enough doses the client doesn't experience being high and also does not have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this sole purpose, but there are other options currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be administered in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 /month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another medication taken 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 feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
