Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Grantsburg, WI.

One of the outpatient rehab options for clients in Grantsburg who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to give specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioids also and are habit forming. In low enough doses the individual doesn't feel high and also doesn't experience severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this purpose, but there are a few more options currently to choose from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a 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 which can only be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 monthly for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. A person taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 a month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
