Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Newtonsville, OH.

One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for people in Newtonsville battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. With low amounts however, the individual doesn't experience being high but also does not experience severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this reason, but there are other options to choose from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be given in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
