Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Fond Du Lac, WI.

One of the out-patient treatment options for clients in Fond Du Lac battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to give certain medications to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. With low enough doses however, the client does not experience high feelings but also does not have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this purpose, but there are alternative options to choose from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be administered in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300.00 a month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced around $450 a month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opiate 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, the drug prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
