Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Camptown, PA.

One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Camptown who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to administer specific medications to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioids also and are habit forming. With low enough amounts however, the user does not feel high but also does not have severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this purpose, but there are alternative options to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be given in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 monthly for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. Someone taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
