Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Bunker Hill, KS.

One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for clients in Bunker Hill struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to administer certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. In low amounts however, the user does not experience being high but also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this reason, but there are a few more choices currently to choose from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med 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 unlike Methadone that can only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. 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 costs around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
