Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Port Washington, WI.

One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for individuals in Port Washington who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. In low doses the individual doesn't experience high feelings and also doesn't experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this reason, but there are alternative choices currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is about $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 given in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars /month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. Someone 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 is also taken every day, and is priced approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, 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 in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
