Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Aquashicola, PA.

One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for clients in Aquashicola battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. With low enough doses the user doesn't experience being high and also does not have intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this purpose, but there are a few more choices to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be given in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars /month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. A person consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced around $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
