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

One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for clients in Packwaukee struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. In low doses however, the user doesn't experience being high and also doesn't have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are other options currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around just under $300 a month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming this version of the drug, also known as 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 costs around $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
