Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Ridgeville Corners, OH.

One of the out-patient rehab options for people in Ridgeville Corners struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to administer certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. In low doses however, the individual does not experience high feelings but also doesn't have severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are alternative options currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be dispensed in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars /month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 per month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
