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

One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Parma Heights battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid dependent people, many that are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low enough doses the user doesn't feel high but also does not experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication 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 clinic certified to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be given in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. An individual taking 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 on a daily basis, and costs approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
