Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Johnstown, OH.

One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for clients in Johnstown who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to administer certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low enough amounts the client doesn't feel high and also does not have intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this sole purpose, but there are other options currently to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this formulation, AKA 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 around $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
