Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Pell Lake, WI.

One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Pell Lake struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to administer certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. In low amounts the client does not feel high and also doesn't have acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this sole purpose, but there are other choices currently to choose from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a 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 that can only be dispensed in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 /month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. A person consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
