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

One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for clients in Walhalla battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to administer specific meds to opioid addicted people, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low enough doses however, the individual doesn't experience being high but also doesn't have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this reason, but there are alternative choices currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be administered in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars a month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. Someone 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 daily, and costs about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
