Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Tarlton, OH.

One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for individuals in Tarlton who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioids also and are addiction. In low amounts however, the user does not experience high feelings and also does not experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300 a month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. An individual taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced about $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
