Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Mount Vernon, OH.

One of the out-patient rehab options for clients in Mount Vernon who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low doses the client does not feel high and also does not experience acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this sole purpose, but there are other options to choose from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about just under $300 per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. An individual 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 is also taken every day, and costs about $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
