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

One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for individuals in Valparaiso struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to give certain medications to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids also and are addiction. With low enough doses however, the individual does not experience high feelings and also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this purpose, but there are alternative choices to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 per month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. Someone 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 daily, and is priced around $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
