Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Gary, MN.

One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for individuals in Gary struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to administer specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. In low doses however, the client doesn't experience being high but also does not experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this purpose, but there are alternative options to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be given in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 per month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced about $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
