Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Tontogany, OH.

One of the out-patient treatment options for individuals in Tontogany who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to dispense specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids also and are habit forming. In low enough doses the user does not experience being high and also does not have severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this purpose, but there are alternative options to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be administered in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
