Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - De Forest, WI.

One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for clients in De Forest who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids also and are addictive. In low doses however, the client does not feel high but also does not have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be administered in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 monthly for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. A person taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs around $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
