Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Hidden Valley, PA.

One of the outpatient treatment options for individuals in Hidden Valley battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to dispense specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. In low enough doses the individual doesn't feel high and also does not experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this purpose, but there are other options currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be dispensed in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs around $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
