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

One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for individuals in Green Bay battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid addicted people, many that are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low amounts the user does not experience high feelings and also does not experience severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options currently to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300 a month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
