Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Pisek, ND.

One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for people in Pisek who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. In low amounts however, the user does not experience being high but also does not experience severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this reason, but there are a few more choices currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be dispensed in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars per month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. Someone taking 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 on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which 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 injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
