Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Lodi, OH.

One of the out-patient rehab options for individuals in Lodi struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. In low enough amounts however, the individual doesn't feel high but also doesn't experience severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are alternative options currently to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 monthly for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
