Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Alberton, MT.

One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Alberton struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. In low doses however, the client doesn't experience being high but also does not experience intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this purpose, but there are alternative options currently to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be administered in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 /month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
