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

One of the out-patient treatment options for individuals in Hustler struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense specific meds to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. In low enough amounts however, the user does not experience being high but also doesn't have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this reason, but there are alternative options to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be dispensed in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 /month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. Someone taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
