Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Tomahawk, WI.

One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Tomahawk battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to administer certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low enough doses however, the individual doesn't experience being high but also doesn't experience severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 monthly for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs around $450 per month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
