Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Jewett, OH.

One of the outpatient rehab options for people in Jewett who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to dispense specific meds to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. With low enough amounts however, the client doesn't experience being high and also does not experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to choose from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be dispensed in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. A person consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs around $450 per 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. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
