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

One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for individuals in Fertile struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to administer certain medications to opioid dependent people, many that are opioids also and are habit forming. In low amounts the individual doesn't experience high feelings but also does not experience intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this reason, but there are alternative options to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be dispensed in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. An individual taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs around $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
