Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Avon, OH.

One of the outpatient treatment options for people in Avon who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to administer certain medications to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. With low enough doses the client does not experience being high and also does not experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options to choose from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be dispensed in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300.00 monthly for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
