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

One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for people in Taylors Falls who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to dispense certain meds to opioid dependent people, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low doses however, the individual doesn't feel high but also does not have acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices to choose from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be administered in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 monthly for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med which 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 costs around $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
