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

One of the out-patient rehab options for people in Eden struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense specific medications to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low enough doses however, the client doesn't experience being high but also does not have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this purpose, but there are a few more options to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense 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 med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be administered in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
