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

One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Centerport struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to give specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low amounts however, the individual doesn't experience high feelings but also doesn't have acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this purpose, but there are a few more options currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about just under $300 monthly for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
