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

One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Perry battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid addicted people, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low doses the user does not experience high feelings but also doesn't have acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to select from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be given in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 /month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. Someone 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 is also taken daily, and costs approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this medication 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 shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
