Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Berlin, WI.

One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for people in Berlin who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to administer specific medications to opioid dependent people, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. With low amounts the individual doesn't feel high but also does not have intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this purpose, but there are other options to choose from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be administered in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 /month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. An individual taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
