Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Jefferson City, MT.

One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Jefferson City who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to give specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. In low doses the individual does not experience being high and also doesn't have acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this reason, but there are alternative choices to select from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be administered in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300 per month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. An individual taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs about $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
