Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Kingdom City, MO.

One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for people in Kingdom City struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense specific medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. With low enough doses however, the client does not feel high and also does not experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be given in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 /month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
