Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Lamar, CO.

One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for people in Lamar who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to give certain medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids themselves and are addiction. In low amounts however, the individual does not experience high feelings and also does not have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are other choices currently to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be dispensed in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 a month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. An individual taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs about $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
