Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Darby, MT.

One of the outpatient treatment options for clients in Darby battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to give specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. In low doses the client does not experience being high but also does not experience severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this purpose, but there are other options currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars monthly for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. A person consuming 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 costs about $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
