Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Biscay, MN.

One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Biscay battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. In low enough doses the client doesn't experience being high and also does not experience severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this purpose, but there are other choices to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be administered in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars a month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
