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

One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for individuals in Oronogo who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. In low amounts however, the individual doesn't feel high and also does not have acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this purpose, but there are alternative options currently to select from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be administered in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 per month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. A person consuming this formulation, 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 daily, and costs about $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
