Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Bethlehem, IN.

One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for individuals in Bethlehem who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to administer specific medications to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. In low amounts however, the user doesn't experience being high and also does not experience acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this purpose, but there are alternative choices to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be administered in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around just under $300 monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. Someone taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
