Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Almond, WI.

One of the out-patient rehab options for clients in Almond struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to administer certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low enough doses the user doesn't feel high but also does not experience severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this purpose, but there are a few more options currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be given in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars /month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. A person consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
