Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Plum City, WI.

One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for clients in Plum City battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to dispense specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. In low enough doses however, the individual doesn't experience high feelings and also does not have acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are other options to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be administered in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 a month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. An individual 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 every day, and costs about $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
