Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Chandler, MN.

One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Chandler who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to administer certain medications to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. In low enough doses however, the individual does not experience high feelings but also doesn't have acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be given in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $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 that reverses the effects of opioids. A person taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
