Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Brisbin, PA.

One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for individuals in Brisbin who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids also and are habit forming. With low enough amounts the user does not experience high feelings but also does not experience intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are alternative options to select from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be dispensed in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars monthly for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. A person taking 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 on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 per month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
