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

One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for clients in Dimock who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to administer certain meds to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. In low doses however, the user doesn't experience high feelings and also does not experience acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this reason, but there are alternative options to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center 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 opiate based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be dispensed in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars per month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get 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 med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
