Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Cocolamus, PA.

One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Cocolamus struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense specific medications to opioid dependent people, many that are opioids also and are addictive. In low amounts the individual does not feel high and also doesn't experience severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill 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 prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. Someone taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
