Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Cando, ND.

One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for clients in Cando who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to administer certain medications to opioid dependent people, many that are opioid-based also and are addiction. In low enough doses the user doesn't experience being high but also doesn't have acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options currently to choose from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be dispensed in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 per month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
