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

One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for people in Spencerville struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to administer specific meds to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low doses however, the client does not feel high and also does not experience intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this purpose, but there are a few more options currently to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be administered in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 a month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this version of the drug, also known as 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 costs around $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
