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

One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for individuals in Chokio who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioids also and are habit forming. In low enough amounts however, the individual doesn't experience high feelings but also doesn't experience acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this reason, but there are alternative options currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be given in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 /month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. A person taking this version of the drug, 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 about $450 per month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
