Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Osceola, WI.

One of the out-patient treatment options for people in Osceola who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to administer certain medications to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low enough doses the client does not feel high but also does not experience severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this reason, but there are alternative choices to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 a month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. A person taking 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 every day, and is priced around $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
