Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Champion, PA.

One of the out-patient rehab options for clients in Champion struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to administer specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. In low enough amounts the individual does not experience being high and also doesn't have intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this sole purpose, but there are other choices currently to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be administered in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars monthly for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. Someone taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
