Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Dwight, KS.

One of the out-patient treatment options for people in Dwight battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to give certain medications to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids also and are habit forming. With low amounts the user does not experience high feelings but also doesn't have intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are a few more choices to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be given in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300 per month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. Someone taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice 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 therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
