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

One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for individuals in Felton who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid addicted people, many that are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low enough doses the individual does not feel high and also does not experience intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be dispensed in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around just under $300 per month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
