Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Montezuma, OH.

One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Montezuma battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to give certain medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids also and are habit forming. In low enough doses the individual doesn't feel high and also does not experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be administered in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 /month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this version of the drug, AKA 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 around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
