Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Sawyer, ND.

One of the outpatient rehab options for people in Sawyer who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to administer specific medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. With low enough doses however, the user does not experience high feelings but also doesn't have intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this reason, but there are alternative options to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to 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 around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be administered in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 /month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. A person consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
