Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Shirley Basin, WY.

One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for people in Shirley Basin battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to give specific meds to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low amounts however, the individual does not experience high feelings and also does not experience intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to select from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be administered in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars monthly for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this version of the drug, also known as 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 about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. 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 an individual from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
