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

One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Clarissa who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to dispense specific meds to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low amounts however, the individual does not feel high but also does not have acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this sole purpose, but there are other choices to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be given in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars /month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. An individual taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced around $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it 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.
