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

One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for people in Highland Heights who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to administer specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids also and are habit forming. In low enough doses however, the individual does not feel high but also doesn't have intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this reason, but there are a few more choices currently to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is around $150 per 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 well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars monthly for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. An individual taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
