Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Crowheart, WY.

One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for individuals in Crowheart 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 of which are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low enough amounts however, the user doesn't experience being high but also does not experience acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are other options to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be administered in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 per 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 blocks the effects of opiates. An individual taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced about $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
