Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - St. Clair, MN.

One of the out-patient rehab options for people in St. Clair battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioids also and are habit forming. With low enough amounts the user does not experience high feelings and also doesn't have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this reason, but there are alternative choices currently to select from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be given in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about just under $300 /month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. Someone taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs around $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
