Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Rochester, MN.

One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Rochester struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to give certain medications to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low doses however, the user doesn't feel high and also does not experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be dispensed in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 per month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. An individual taking this version of the drug, also known as 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 about $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't 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 high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
