Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Brainerd, MN.

One of the out-patient treatment options for individuals in Brainerd who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low enough amounts however, the user does not experience high feelings and also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this sole purpose, but there are other options currently to select from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 per month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. 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 daily, and is priced approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
