Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Arma, KS.

One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for individuals in Arma struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low enough doses the individual doesn't experience being high and also does not experience acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to choose from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300 /month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. A person taking this formulation, 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 every day, and is priced around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
