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

One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Mason who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to administer specific meds to opioid addicted people, many that are opioids themselves and are addictive. With low amounts however, the user doesn't experience high feelings but also does not have severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug 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 unlike Methadone which is only be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 a month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. Someone taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
