Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Glenham, SD.

One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for people in Glenham battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to give certain medications to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioids also and are habit forming. In low amounts however, the client doesn't experience high feelings but also doesn't experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this purpose, but there are alternative options to choose from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, 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 /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. A person taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
