Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Thermopolis, WY.

One of the outpatient rehab options for people in Thermopolis struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to administer specific medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. With low enough amounts however, the user does not feel high but also does not experience severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this reason, but there are alternative options currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be given in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars monthly for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this formulation, 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 costs around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug used 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 shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
