Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Birchrunville, PA.

One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for people in Birchrunville struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid addicted people, many that are opioids also and are addiction. In low enough doses the client doesn't experience high feelings but also doesn't have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this reason, but there are other choices currently to select from.

Methadone is an opiate and can 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 around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be dispensed in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 a month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. An individual taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs about $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
