Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Polaris, MT.

One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for people in Polaris battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to administer certain meds to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low amounts the individual doesn't experience being high but also does not experience severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this reason, but there are a few more options currently to select from.

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