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

One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in North Olmsted struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to administer certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. In low enough doses however, the client does not feel high but also doesn't have acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are other choices to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, 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 dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 a month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. 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 too is taken daily, and is priced around $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
