Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Dexter City, OH.

One of the outpatient treatment options for clients in Dexter City battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to dispense certain medications to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. In low amounts the individual does not experience being high but also does not have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this reason, but there are a few more options currently to choose from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from 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 approximately $300 /month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. 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 daily, and is priced approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
