Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Weskan, KS.

One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for people in Weskan who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense specific medications to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low enough amounts the individual doesn't experience being high but also doesn't experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this sole purpose, but there are other choices to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be dispensed in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 a month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced around $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
