Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Weaubleau, MO.

One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Weaubleau struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. In low doses however, the individual doesn't feel high and also does not have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this purpose, but there are other choices currently to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars a month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced about $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and is not 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 an individual 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.
