Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Maple Heights, OH.

One of the outpatient treatment options for people in Maple Heights battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid dependent people, many that are opioids also and are habit forming. In low enough amounts however, the individual does not experience being high but also doesn't have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options currently to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be administered in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. Someone taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, 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 /month.
