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

One of the out-patient rehab options for people in Holmes who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to administer certain medications to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids also and are habit forming. With low doses however, the client does not feel high and also does not have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be given in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 a month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. A person taking this formulation, 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 approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
