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

One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for individuals in Redkey who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to give certain medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low amounts however, the user does not feel high but also does not have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this purpose, but there are a few more options currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. A person consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
