Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Riverton, WY.

One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for individuals in Riverton struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low enough amounts the user doesn't experience being high but also doesn't have intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be administered in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300.00 a month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. A person consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
