Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - High Ridge, MO.

One of the outpatient treatment options for people in High Ridge struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to administer specific medications to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids themselves and are addiction. In low enough amounts however, the user doesn't experience high feelings and also does not have intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options currently to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be dispensed in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars per month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. An individual taking this version of the drug, AKA 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 /month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
