Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Nowthen, MN.

One of the out-patient treatment options for individuals in Nowthen who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to administer specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low enough doses the individual does not feel high and also does not experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this reason, but there are other choices to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be administered in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars per month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. Someone taking 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 is priced around $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
