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

One of the out-patient treatment options for individuals in Herndon struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to administer certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low enough amounts the client doesn't experience high feelings but also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this sole purpose, but there are other options currently to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be dispensed in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars a month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. An individual taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs around $450 per month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
