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

One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for individuals in Sharonville struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense specific meds to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioids also and are habit forming. With low enough doses the client does not experience high feelings but also does not experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this sole purpose, but there are other choices to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be given in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around just under $300 monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. An individual taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
