Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Wauseon, OH.

One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for clients in Wauseon who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to give certain medications to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. With low enough amounts however, the client doesn't feel high and also doesn't experience acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this reason, but there are other options to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be dispensed in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars per month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. A person taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. 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 someone from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
