Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Ashland, WI.

One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for individuals in Ashland struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioids also and are habit forming. In low amounts the user does not experience being high and also does not have severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, but there are a few more choices currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be administered in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars per month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. An individual taking 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 approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not 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 a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
