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

One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for people in Cornucopia battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to give specific meds to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. In low enough amounts the user doesn't feel high but also doesn't have intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this reason, but there are other choices to select from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about just under $300 a month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. Someone taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs around $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opioid blocker and is not 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 someone from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
