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

One of the outpatient rehab options for individuals in Elizabethville struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioids themselves and are addiction. With low doses the client doesn't feel high and also does not experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, but there are alternative options currently to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be administered in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars per month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. A person 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 is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person 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 monthly.
