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

One of the out-patient rehab options for individuals in Dilltown who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to dispense specific medications to opioid addicted people, many that are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low enough doses however, the client doesn't feel high but also does not have intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are a few more choices to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 a month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. Someone taking this version of the drug, AKA 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 about $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
