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

One of the outpatient treatment options for individuals in South Bend who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to give specific medications to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioids also and are addictive. In low amounts the client doesn't feel high but also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to choose from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. Someone taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opioid 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 a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
