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

One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Vermilion battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. In low enough amounts however, the client does not experience being high and also does not have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this reason, but there are a few more choices to select from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 monthly for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. An individual taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
