Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Belvidere, SD.

One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for people in Belvidere who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. With low enough amounts the individual does not feel high and also does not experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this purpose, but there are alternative choices to choose from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. An individual taking 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 every day, and is priced about $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, 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 anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
