Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Stryker, OH.

One of the outpatient rehab options for individuals in Stryker battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low amounts the client doesn't feel high but also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this reason, but there are other options to select from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 monthly for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. An individual taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs about $450 a month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opioid 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 experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
