Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Merrillan, WI.

One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for people in Merrillan who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense specific medications to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. In low enough doses the client doesn't feel high but also doesn't experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this purpose, but there are other choices to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be given in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 a month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. An individual taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs about $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication 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 injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
