Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Hertel, WI.

One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for clients in Hertel struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to dispense certain meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. With low doses the individual doesn't feel high but also doesn't experience severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are alternative choices to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is around 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 can only be administered in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 monthly for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. A person taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone 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.
