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

One of the outpatient treatment options for individuals in Fountain City who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. In low enough doses the individual does not feel high and also does not experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this reason, but there are other choices to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be administered in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 a month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. A person consuming this version of the drug, 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 costs about $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
