Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Gifford, PA.

One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for clients in Gifford battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioids themselves and are habit forming. In low enough doses however, the client does not feel high and also doesn't have acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this reason, but there are a few more choices currently to select from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars /month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this formulation, 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 costs about $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
