Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Alton, KS.

One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for clients in Alton battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioid-based also and are habit forming. With low enough amounts the individual does not feel high and also doesn't experience intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, but there are a few more options currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is about $150 per 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 administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 monthly for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. Someone taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
