Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Fulda, MN.

One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Fulda struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to give certain medications to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioid-based also and are habit forming. With low enough amounts the individual doesn't experience high feelings and also does not experience intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this reason, but there are other options to choose from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300 a month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs around $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned 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 experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
