Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Cheyenne, WY.

One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Cheyenne struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to administer specific medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low enough doses however, the client doesn't feel high and also doesn't have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this purpose, but there are other options currently to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, 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 and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. A person taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
