Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Britton, SD.

One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for people in Britton who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to dispense specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioids themselves and are addictive. With low doses the client doesn't feel high and also does not experience intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered 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 drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars a month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't 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 injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
