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

One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for people in Chillicothe battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to administer specific medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based also and are habit forming. With low enough amounts however, the user doesn't experience high feelings and also doesn't experience intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options to select from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be given in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars a month for the generic version of the drug. 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 formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
