Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Glenfield, ND.

One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for people in Glenfield struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to give certain medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioid-based also and are habit forming. With low amounts the user doesn't feel high but also does not experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are a few more choices to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be administered in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. A person 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 every day, and costs about $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
