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

One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Sioux Falls who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to administer certain medications to opioid addicted people, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low doses the individual does not experience high feelings but also doesn't have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this reason, but there are other choices currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 /month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this version of the drug, AKA 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 about $450 a month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
