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

One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Mount Liberty who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to administer certain medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. In low enough amounts however, the user doesn't experience high feelings and also doesn't have acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are alternative choices to choose from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be dispensed in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 /month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. A person consuming this formulation, also known as 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 about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
