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

One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Cambridge who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. In low enough amounts however, the user does not feel high but also doesn't experience severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are alternative choices to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars per month 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 opioids. An individual taking 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 /month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
