Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Defiance, OH.

One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for clients in Defiance battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to administer certain meds to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low enough doses however, the individual doesn't experience being high but also does not have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this reason, but there are other options currently to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be dispensed in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
