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

One of the out-patient treatment options for clients in Equinunk battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to dispense certain meds to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low doses however, the user does not experience high feelings and also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars per month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. A person taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced around $450 a month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and is not 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 someone from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
