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

One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for individuals in Connoquenessing battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low enough doses however, the client doesn't experience being high but also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication 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 administer the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be administered in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 a month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
