Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Catawissa, PA.

One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Catawissa struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids also and are habit forming. With low doses however, the user does not experience being high but also does not experience intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be dispensed in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars per month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. A person taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
