Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Rushford Village, MN.

One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for individuals in Rushford Village battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to administer certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. In low enough amounts however, the individual does not feel high but also doesn't experience severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this reason, but there are alternative options to select from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 /month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. An individual consuming 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 costs around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone 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 monthly.
