Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Cotton, MN.

One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Cotton who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense specific medications to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low enough doses the user doesn't experience high feelings and also does not experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this purpose, but there are a few more options to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around just under $300 /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. An individual taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
