Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Huggins, MO.

One of the out-patient treatment options for individuals in Huggins who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are addiction. In low amounts the user doesn't feel high and also does not have acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this sole purpose, but there are other options currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be administered in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 monthly for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
