Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Helena, OH.

One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for individuals in Helena battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to dispense specific meds to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioids themselves and are addiction. With low enough amounts however, the user does not experience high feelings and also doesn't have acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this sole purpose, but there are other options currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is 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 per month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. A person taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced around $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it 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 /month.
