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

One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for clients in Haverford battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low amounts however, the individual does not experience being high but also doesn't experience severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this purpose, but there are alternative options to choose from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be given in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars a month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs about $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual 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.
