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

One of the outpatient rehab options for individuals in Morland battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to administer specific medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based also and are habit forming. With low doses however, the individual doesn't experience being high but also does not experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this reason, but there are alternative options to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be administered in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars per month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. An individual 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 on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
