Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Deaver, WY.

One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for clients in Deaver who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioids themselves and are addiction. With low doses however, the individual does not experience being high and also doesn't have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be given in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300.00 a month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. A person consuming this formulation, AKA 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 around $450 per month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
