Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Barlow, OH.

One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for individuals in Barlow struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to give certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. With low amounts the individual doesn't feel high but also doesn't experience intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this purpose, but there are other choices currently to select from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be given in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars monthly for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 per month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
