Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Apple Creek, OH.

One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Apple Creek struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to administer specific medications to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. In low doses the user doesn't feel high and also does not have severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, but there are alternative choices currently to choose from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be dispensed in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around just under $300 /month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. Someone consuming 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 on a daily basis, and costs around $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
