Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Benton, WI.

One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for individuals in Benton battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to administer certain medications to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. With low amounts the client doesn't experience being high but also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be dispensed in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this version of the drug, AKA 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 around $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
