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

One of the out-patient rehab options for people in Whitlash who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to give specific medications to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low amounts however, the user does not experience high feelings and also does not experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this reason, but there are a few more choices currently to choose from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be given in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars monthly for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. An individual taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
