Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - New Concord, OH.

One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for individuals in New Concord who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids also and are addictive. In low enough amounts however, the user doesn't experience high feelings but also does not have acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this sole purpose, but there are other options to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be dispensed in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this version of the drug, 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 about $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
