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

One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for people in Senath struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense specific medications to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. With low amounts however, the client does not feel high and also doesn't experience acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this purpose, but there are a few more options currently to choose from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be administered in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300 per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. Someone 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 too is taken daily, and costs approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
