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

One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for people in Germansville struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to administer specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids themselves and are addictive. In low enough amounts the user does not feel high and also doesn't experience acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this reason, but there are other options to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be administered in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars monthly for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. An individual 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 daily, and is priced approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
