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

One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for individuals in Poy Sippi who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense certain meds to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are addiction. With low doses however, the individual does not experience high feelings and also doesn't have acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this purpose, but there are other choices currently to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be given in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars monthly for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. Someone consuming 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 costs about $450 per month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. 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 getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
