Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Vandalia, MT.

One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for clients in Vandalia struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense certain medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. In low enough doses the individual doesn't experience high feelings but also does not experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this reason, but there are alternative options to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be dispensed in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 per month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. A person consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced about $450 per month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned 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 in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
