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

One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for individuals in Plevna struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to administer certain meds to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low enough amounts the individual does not experience high feelings but also doesn't experience intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are alternative choices to select from.

Methadone is an opioid 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 price of the med is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be administered in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 a month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this version of the drug, AKA 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 approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opiate 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 someone from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
