Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Springfield, MO.

One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for individuals in Springfield battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to dispense certain meds to opioid dependent people, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. With low enough doses however, the client doesn't experience being high and also does not experience severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this reason, but there are alternative options to select from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be dispensed in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 /month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. Someone taking this version of the drug, 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 every day, and is priced approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
