Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Piedmont, SD.

One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for individuals in Piedmont who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to dispense specific meds to opioid dependent people, many that are opioid-based also and are habit forming. With low amounts however, the individual doesn't feel high and also does not experience severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this purpose, but there are other choices currently to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be administered in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs around $450 per month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
