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

One of the out-patient rehab options for people in Oldham who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to administer specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. In low enough doses the individual doesn't experience high feelings and also doesn't experience severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this purpose, but there are alternative options currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 monthly for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another drug used 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 medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
