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

One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for individuals in Bronson who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid addicted people, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. In low enough doses the individual does not feel high and also does not have acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be administered in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars monthly for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. A person taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder 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 /month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
