Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Zanesville, IN.

One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for individuals in Zanesville who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid dependent people, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. In low enough doses the user does not experience high feelings and also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this purpose, but there are alternative choices to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars /month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
