Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Edgar, MT.

One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for people in Edgar who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low enough doses however, the user does not feel high and also doesn't experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this reason, but there are other choices currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be administered in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about just under $300 monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this version of the drug, AKA 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 approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. 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 experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
