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

One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for clients in Hibbing struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to dispense specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. With low enough amounts the user doesn't feel high but also does not have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this purpose, but there are other options currently to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be administered in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 monthly for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. 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 daily, and is priced approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which 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 anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
