Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Byrnedale, PA.

One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for clients in Byrnedale battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to dispense specific meds to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low enough amounts however, the client doesn't feel high but also doesn't have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this reason, but there are other options to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is around under $200 per 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 administered in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 a month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. An individual taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced around $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
