Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Dushore, PA.

One of the outpatient treatment options for people in Dushore who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to give certain medications to opioid addicted people, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low amounts the client does not feel high but also does not experience severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this purpose, but there are a few more options currently to select from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be administered in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars /month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
