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

One of the outpatient rehab options for people in Cairo who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense certain medications to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low amounts however, the user doesn't experience high feelings and also does not experience intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about just under $300 /month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. Someone taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs around $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
