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

One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for individuals in Lime Ridge who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to give certain medications to opioid dependent people, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. In low amounts however, the individual doesn't experience being high and also does not have acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around under $200 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 which 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 approximately just under $300 per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. A person consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel 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 medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
