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

One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for individuals in Leota who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioid-based also and are addiction. In low doses however, the individual doesn't experience being high and also doesn't have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this sole purpose, but there are other choices currently to select from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be dispensed in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 /month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. A person consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced around $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
