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

One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Ogallah who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to give certain medications to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. In low enough doses however, the client does not experience being high but also does not experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be administered in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 a month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
