Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Faribault, MN.

One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Faribault who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. In low doses however, the client doesn't experience being high and also does not have acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are other choices currently to select from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be given in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 per month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
