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

One of the out-patient rehab options for clients in Dagus Mines battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to administer certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioids themselves and are addictive. With low amounts however, the client doesn't experience being high and also doesn't experience acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this purpose, but there are other choices to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be given in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300 monthly for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. Someone taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
