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

One of the outpatient treatment options for individuals in Vernon Center who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to administer specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. With low doses the client does not experience being high but also doesn't have intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options currently to select from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be administered in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming this version of the drug, also known as 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 costs approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't 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 experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
