Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Point Of Rocks, WY.

One of the out-patient treatment options for individuals in Point Of Rocks battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to give certain medications to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioids also and are addictive. With low amounts however, the client doesn't experience being high and also doesn't have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this reason, but there are a few more options currently to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be given in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. Someone taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced about $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
