Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Pierz, MN.

One of the out-patient rehab options for clients in Pierz battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioid-based also and are habit forming. With low enough amounts the individual does not experience being high and also does not have acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med 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 different from Methadone which can only be given in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 /month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. 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 on a daily basis, and is priced approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
