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

One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for individuals in Bradford battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to administer specific meds to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioids themselves and are addictive. With low amounts however, the client does not experience high feelings but also does not experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this sole purpose, but there are other options currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. Someone taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced about $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and is not 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 someone from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
