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

One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for clients in Pinedale struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low enough amounts however, the client does not experience being high and also doesn't experience intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this sole purpose, but there are other choices currently to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be administered in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 per month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. A person taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 per month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
