Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Shandon, OH.

One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for individuals in Shandon who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to dispense certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. In low amounts the individual doesn't feel high and also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices to select from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be dispensed in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 a month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. A person taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
