Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Bowling Green, MO.

One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for clients in Bowling Green battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low amounts the individual doesn't feel high and also doesn't have intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that 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 $300 per month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. An individual taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 per month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
