Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Munroe Falls, OH.

One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for people in Munroe Falls battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. In low amounts however, the individual does not experience being high but also does not have acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are other options currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be given in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 /month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. A person consuming 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 is priced around $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used 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 medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
