Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Portage, OH.

One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for people in Portage struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to give certain medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. With low amounts the user does not experience high feelings but also does not have acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this purpose, but there are a few more options currently to choose from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be dispensed in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars per month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. A person taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
