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

One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for clients in Volborg struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to give specific medications to opioid dependent people, many that are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. With low amounts the user does not experience being high but also does not have intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are alternative choices to choose from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be administered in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. A person taking 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 is also taken every day, and costs approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
