Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Medford, MN.

One of the outpatient treatment options for people in Medford who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense certain meds to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low enough amounts however, the client does not experience being high but also does not experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, but there are other choices currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be administered in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 a month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs about $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opiate 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, the drug prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
