Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Westby, MT.

One of the outpatient rehab options for individuals in Westby battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense specific medications to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids themselves and are addiction. In low doses the client doesn't experience high feelings and also does not experience intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this purpose, but there are other choices to select from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is about under $200 per 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 administered in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 monthly for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this version of the drug, AKA 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 drugs aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
