Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Tokio, ND.

One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Tokio struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to administer specific medications to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. In low enough doses the client doesn't feel high but also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be dispensed in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars /month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. An individual taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs around $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
