Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Abbottstown, PA.

One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for individuals in Abbottstown struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to administer certain meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. In low enough amounts however, the individual doesn't feel high and also does not have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be dispensed in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opioid 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 an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
