Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Hesston, PA.

One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for people in Hesston struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to administer specific medications to opioid dependent 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 experience intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this reason, but there are other options to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars /month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. An individual taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 per month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
