Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Westhope, ND.

One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for clients in Westhope who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to administer specific medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low doses the client does not feel high but also doesn't have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this purpose, but there are a few more options to select from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300.00 per month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
